Not a spike at all. That's 11.1% increase, down on yesterday's 11.3%.

RIP to the 17 souls lost.

54 of the 70 Irish deaths had underlying conidtions.
2/3 of the deaths were over 70

Harsh but it Needs to be said ....I think these Doctors/Nurses will be in for a rude awakening when the crisis is over and HSE suddenly reverts to norm

Absolutely, if you are under contract, you are under contract. It is a dereliction of duties by these doctors when at their most needed time.

RIP , hopefully we will see the crisis peak here within 2 weeks.

Median age of deaths 84. This must have gotten into a nursing home.

There are 23 Nursing Home clusters

The amount of people suddenly obsessed with jogging is hilarious. You'd swear we were the slimmest, fittest, fastest nation in the world the way some suddenly are fixated on it. I wonder why we are generally the opposite?

Perhaps a small minority of them realize that one of the few things you can do which will actually improve your immune system, is to improve your level of physical fitness.

RTÉ News Now alerts you my phone as soon as it’s over. It’s as trustworthy as you can get. Do you honestly think that 4 or 5 of us are pulling the same random numbers out of our hats every evening?

Naggdefy · 31-03-2020 07:55PM

Deaths increased by 31%.

RIP.

For sure, here's hoping the next 7-10 days go that way. But contacts now down at 3 per case.

^^^ Found the above clip very effective on The Claire Byrne Show

ACitizenErased · 31-03-2020 07:56PM

Contact tracing now changed to further cover asymptomatic transmission. Number of contacts per case has reduced to 3.

RobertKK · 31-03-2020 07:56PM

Very sad for all those affected.

We are in the upswing part of the pandemic here and will be until around mid April and then it should start to taper off.

You are asking to be reporting with these lies.

fritzelly · 31-03-2020 07:56PM

Close contacts down to 3 - some good news at controlling it.

That's not a spike. New cases will continue to rise for a while yet, but the rate of growth is slightly slowed. Deaths, unfortunately will continue an Howard trend for quite a while after new cases diminish.

Musefan · 31-03-2020 07:56PM

Now at only 3 cases average per contact tracing. That’s great!

branie2 · 31-03-2020 07:56PM

RIP, the 17 people who died

spookwoman · 31-03-2020 07:56PM

Breaking: 30,213 tests have been carried out to date.

Over the past week, the positivity rate for tests carried out has increased from 6% to 15%.

(NPHET says that was what they were trying to achieve by changing test guidelines.)

lbj666 · 31-03-2020 07:56PM

Highest rise in cases so far in a day, its quiet level over the past few days but if they are only knocking out a certain number of tests per day with a consistent rate of positives, the number of cases per day is going to be in and around the same.

An Ciarraioch · 31-03-2020 07:57PM

113 in ICU, 30,213 tests conducted to date.

Best to switch off from this while you're about to watch (p.s. i sadly agree)

Jim_Hodge · 31-03-2020 07:58PM

113 of whom are in intensive care. Not a cumulative figure and stated clearly.

Umm. Worrying rise

We may get used to it sadly. There are people who have contracted it in nursing homes and are being given palliative care such is their age and underlying conditions. So very sad, and we’ve miles to go.

Lavinia · 31-03-2020 07:58PM

The media age of those who died was 84.

yesterday's median was 86.

I hope I am not understood wrongly but these were old sick people, I do feel sad for their families but think that overall Ireland is doing very well as a country.
