No new deaths from Covid-19 have occurred today but 36 new cases have been diagnosed. In Northern Ireland, two more people have tested positive for Covid-19, the Department of Health said.
The tally of total infections now stands at 5,859. No new deaths were reported in the region so the official death toll remains at 556.
Meanwhile, Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has questioned whether a 'green list' of countries should be published at all, if the advice against all non-essential foreign travel remains in place.
There are differing views ahead of a Cabinet discussion on the issue this evening, with one Cabinet source saying that a "substantial discussion" is needed before a decision can be made.
