33 more covid-19 patients have died, bringing the death toll in the Republic to 320.
8,928 people have been infected since the pandemic reached Ireland, which includes an extra 286 cases reported by a lab in Germany.
The number of confirmed cases in Mayo now stands at 168. Galway has 169, Sligo has 39 and Roscommon has 27.
Of those cases, there are 21 hospitalised in Galway, 17 in Mayo, 8 in Sligo and 2 in the Portiuncla, according to Friday's HSE Covid-19 Daily Operations Update.
It's already killed over a hundred thousand people worldwide, and infected 1.7 million.
Health Minister Simon Harris says after the German lab has cleared a backlog of up to 15-thousand tests, the next step will be to extend the testing criteria.
Dr Mary Favier, President of the Irish College of General Practitioners, says that will help find infection sooner.
