821 additional Covid-19 cases have been confirmed in the Republic of Ireland today, with no new deaths reported.
In the South East,
Wexford has confirmed the highest case figure in the region with 23 new cases of the virus.
Waterford has 11 new infections while Tipperary, Carlow and Kilkenny all have less than 5 new cases.
Meanwhile, the locations of 37 mass vaccination centres where Covid-19 vaccines will be rolled out to the general population have been confirmed.
At least one centre will be located in each county across the State, the Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly said on Monday.
Vaccines are currently being administered in healthcare settings and GP surgeries. However, once the Republic's rollout ramps up, many people will be offered their vaccination in these centres after self-registering online.
The locations include hotels, conference centres, sports arenas and a golf club. Each has been selected based on population density, ease of access, transport and parking, the Department of Health said.
Size and operating hours — based on vaccine supply and catchment area need — will vary in each, while the design and layout of the centres will also incorporate "learnings" from Covid-19 swabbing centres.
