The number of Covid-19 patients receiving treatment in hospital continues on a downward trend.
There were 532 Covid-patients in Irish hospitals this morning.
That number is down 11 from yesterday.
The figure is 2.3% lower than Thursday, and 11% lower than two weeks ago.
Latest figures show that there are 118 patients in ICU (latest).
This figure is up one on the previous figure.
Meanwhile, vaccination clinics are extremely busy with two drop-in clinics at UCD and Croke Park having to turn people away today, as they had reached full capacity.
