The death toll from Covid-19 in the Republic has risen to 174, after 16 more people were confirmed to have died from the virus yesterday.
There are now over 5,300 confirmed cases. There were 370 new cases confirmed in the Republic yesterday, 10 of those were in Wicklow, where the number of people who have contracted the virus since it was first detected now stands at 142.
