The Chief Executive of the HSE has said the threat from Covid-19 is still "very real", with the number of people being treated in hospital for the virus now at 314 - the highest since the end of March.
The number in hospital is up 55 on the same time yesterday, however the number in ICU has remained at 54.
In an update this morning, Paul Reid said the figures show the "threat is still very real".
He also said that with almost 6.6 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines now administered, 85% of the eligible population had received two doses, with 91% of people having received at least one dose.
Mr Reid said over 135,000 people in the 12-15 age cohort had now registered to receive a vaccine, while 77,000 doses had now been administered among that age group.

Separately, Minister Simon Coveney has said the Government will release a roadmap for the further reopening of society before the end of August.
When asked about the Government's plan in relation to Covid restrictions, he said: "I know there is a huge amount of impatience and frustration in the public" but added there is a reason for the Government’s caution.
Speaking on RTÉ's This Week programme, he said: "For a number of days now the number of people who tested positive is well over 2,000, and we see in Northern Ireland in the last few days the highest number of positive tests since this pandemic began, and we have seen now the numbers in hospital over 300 and the numbers in ICU over 50.
"The Delta variant is dangerous, it’s spreading and it’s present, very much so."
While our shield to protect against the virus is stronger than ever, there is still a risk, he stated.
Mr Coveney said that the live entertainment sector will get "certainty" in the next week on the Government’s decision, but he suspects that the reopening date for that industry may be in September.
He defended the decision to allow 40,000 people to attend today's All-Ireland hurling final in Croke Park, adding:
"It's outside, it’s structured, it’s in a very large stadium, people will be apart in terms of social distance and wearing masks.
"We have worked with sporting organisations to put a protocol in place to allow big events like this to happen. As a Cork person, it will be a privilege to be there."
Delta variant wave not yet been reached - Taoiseach
Yesterday the daily number of confirmed cases exceeded 2,000 for the third time in a week.
Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan said the number in hospital was of "significant concern".
He urged those who are not yet vaccinated against the virus to receive a vaccine as soon as possible to limit their risk of severe infection.
"It is critical for everyone to stay safe by following the public health advice as part of their daily routine," he said.
The Taoiseach also said the peak of the Delta variant wave has not yet been reached.
