There are 258 patients currently hospitalised with coronavirus, of which 35 are in ICU. This is around a quarter below the recent peak of 341 reached at the end of last month.
There were 12 additional hospitalisations in the past 24 hours.
However, the number of deaths related to the virus notified so far this month is now 62 after seven more deaths were announced yesterday.
The Chief Medical Officer, Dr Tony Holohan, has urged people not to drop their guard against the spread of the disease. 
“If we can keep up high levels of compliance, we can get to where we need to be on 1 December,” he said.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin said yesterday that the Government will take advice from the National Public Health Emergency Team but the “Government will take the decision on how we exit Level 5”.
Meanwhile the HSE Health Protection Surveillance Centre has revealed that 6.2% of the 39,293 coronavirus cases reported between 2 August and 1 November involved healthcare workers.
Of these 2,437 cases, 50 were hospitalised and four needed intensive care treatment. No healthcare workers died with Covid-19 during that period.
