109 critical care beds currently available.

Surge plan to have up to 800 critical care beds with ventilators, oxygen and appropriate staffing plus more in private hospitals.
 
After discussing this with Odyssey06, we have decided to separate out Irish news from World news.

We are including the announcement of restrictions in this thread also.

But please keep the discussions of the news and the restrictions to other threads. For example "These restrictions are unenforceable" type discussions.

It's ok to seek clarification of the restrictions in this thread.

Ireland:
210 deaths (+36)
5709 cases (+345)

24 of the patients who died had underlying health conditions.
The median age of those confirmed to have died today was 81.
 
The Government, on the advice of the National Public Health Emergency Team, have given gardaí additional powers to arrest or detain individuals who might be travelling to holiday homes or caravan parks over the long weekend. Those arrested could face a heavy fine of €2,500 or a jail sentence.

See this thread for discussion:
 
Ireland:
+ 25 deaths
+ 365 cases
Total now 6074 cases

Other details include:
  • 1,472 cases (25%) have been hospitalised
  • Of those hospitalised, 224 cases have been admitted to ICU
 
I think that they also said something like 25 of those in ICU had died, while 50 had recovered.
And the median age was 61

Exact figures here... and also that 80% of ICU admissions had underlying conditions.
