The latest data from the Health Protection Surveillance Center shows a further drop in the 14-day Covid-19 infection rate in Ireland.

Data collected through September 1 indicates a 14-day incidence at 491 cases per 100,000 people.

Under its latest optimistic forecast, NPHET suggested daily case numbers could reach 3,000 by the middle of this month.

The latest HPSC report puts the average daily case count for the two weeks through September 1 at 1,670.

NPHET also expects 700 patients to be hospitalized and 130 in the intensive care unit by mid-September.

As of this morning, there were 394 people infected with the virus in hospitals, up 22 from the same time yesterday.

Of those, 59 patients were in intensive care units.
