Cases of Covid-19 in hospitals continue to reduce, according to the latest figures from the Health Service Executive. Last night, there were 813 patients with the disease being cared for in hospitals, which is down 48 cases on the same time yesterday morning.
The number of patients in ICU with the virus has also reduced to 151. Separately, Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr Ronan Glynn advised that Ireland is on target to see between 200-400 cases a day by the start of March.
That is once certain conditions are met regarding the spread of the virus. In a letter to Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly, Dr Glynn said cases could reduce to 100-300 a day, by the middle of next month.
