Department of Health data has revealed a further 137,583 Covid cases in its daily update which marks an increase of 17,660 on the figures given for Boxing Day.
Meanwhile, the data shows there was a total of 73 deaths recorded today, a drop of 22 when compared to the 95 deaths recorded for Boxing Day last week.
