New figures show a significant reduction in the number of Covid-19 outbreaks reported in the week to last Saturday.All areas saw either a reduction in outbreaks, or the same number as the previous week - there were no areas where outbreaks rose.
The overall total includes 31 "late notifications" from October, December, January and February and shows that private house/family outbreaks fell by 38 and extended family outbreaks reduced by 16.The Health Service Executive has also reported a further small reduction in the number of confirmed cases of Covid-19 in hospitals.The majority of acute hospitals are now dealing with fewer than ten cases each, while the number of patients in intensive care also remains stable at 47.
The reducing trends will be important as the Government considers the further lifting of restrictions, with outdoor sports facilities, such as pitches, golf and tennis courts, able to reopen from Monday. Outdoor visitor attractions can also reopen with capacity limits in place.
