There have been 23 more coronavirus-related deaths here.

The latest figures also show there have been 211 new cases confirmed in Ireland.

The death toll total now stands at 1,339 - while the total number of cases is 21,983.

It comes as some of the coronavirus restrictions in place were eased slightly from today, but people are still being urged to stay at home wherever possible.

People are being allowed travel up to 5km from their home for exercise - an increase from the previous limit of 2km.

Meanwhile, older people who have been cocooning are being told they can now leave their homes for exercise, as long as they stay away from other people.

They're still being urged to follow social distancing rules when outside the house.

Meanwhile the death toll from the virus in Britain has become the highest in Europe.

Another 693 people have died there, taking the total number of deaths to 29,427.
