It comes as a further 349 new cases of Covid-19 were reported nationally yesterday, along with 18 deaths.
19 new cases were recorded in Donegal, and less than 5 in both Sligo and Leitrim.
349 people are also being treated in hospital for the virus - up 13 in the past 24 hours; 5 of these are in Sligo and a further 5 in Letterkenny University Hospital.
As of 6.30pm yesterday evening, there was 1 ICU bed available in both hospitals.
The number of people in ICU around the country remains unchanged over the same period, at 85.
