Spike in Leitrim Covid numbers among over 400 cases nationwide

No new deaths recorded today but over 400 cases, including double figures in Leitrim

Covid-19 cases here are "substantially" reduced, and the number of patients in critical care has "stabilised".

That's the message from the acting chief medical officer as 403 more cases are reported tonight, and no patient deaths.

Last week saw a 7 per cent reduction in the number of new infections, following a 22 per cent reduction the week before.
