Meanwhile, there are four patients with the virus at Portiuncula Hospital, two of whom are being treated in intensive care.

That's a drop of two patients since yesterday, when there were six patients with Covid-19 at the Ballinasloe facility.

Over the past week, the figures at Galway's hospitals have remained low and largely stable.

It comes as the chief medical officer says 'riskier' activities by a small number of people may be spreading Covid.

Dr Tony Holohan says people need to stick with the Covid restrictions.
