There have been 788 new cases of COVID-19 confirmed in the Republic, according to the Department of Health.

17 further deaths associated with the virus have also been reported in the past 24 hours.

15 of these deaths occurred in February, one was in December, and one is still under investigation.

The latest figures bring the total amount of cases here to 209,582, while the number of coronavirus-related deaths stands at 3,948.

The median age of those who died was 80 years and the age range was 50 to 92 years.

Of the latest cases, 71% are under 45 years of age, while the median age is 31 years old.

Regarding the nationwide distribution of cases, 315 are in Dublin, 61 in Galway, 59 in Meath, 42 in Louth, and 33 in Kildare.

The remaining 278 cases are spread across all other counties.

Today’s cases, 5-day moving average of new cases, 14-day incidence rate per 100,000 population and new cases in the last 14 days (as of midnight 13 February 2021)

As of 2pm today, 899 people are now receiving treatment in hospital for the virus after 34 new admissions in the past 24 hours.

Of those patients, 160 are in ICU, down from 171 yesterday.

The 14-day incidence rate per 100,000 of the population now stands at 277.2.

It comes as a member of NPHET says there's concern some of the coronavirus figures are levelling off and are "stubbornly stuck".

Dr Mary Favier said the numbers are reducing slowly and will take time to lower significantly.

She added that "there's work to be done and we need to keep at it".
