THERE remain 98 patients in Letterkenny University Hospital undergoing Covid-19 treatment.

Five patients with Covid-19 are receiving intensive care and there are no critical care beds available at LUH this morning.

Latest figures from the HSE show that there are also five suspected cases of Covid-19 in the hospital.

Yesterday evening, there were 32 new cases of Covid-19 reported in Donegal

Dr Tony Holohan, Chief Medical Officer said: “We know that the ongoing restrictions are very challenging for people but, through the hard work and sacrifice of the vast majority of people, we are starting to see the first signs of a lower prevalence of the disease in the population.

“Strictly adhering to the public health measures is the key to making real progress in terms of flattening the curve and lowering the current trends in our hospitals and ICUs.”
