An infectious disease specialist believes we need to change our coronavirus testing policy.
14 more people have died from the virus and 212 additional cases have been confirmed.
126 people have been admitted to the ICU to date.
Infections disease physician Paddy Mallon believes our testing needs to be more focused on healthcare workers and nursing homes and less on the general community.
He says this would be more effective.
"Focus your testing where you're going to get the most benefit from it.
"And the most benefit we're going to get is by maintaining as many people in the healthcare service at work as possible.
"Also ensuring that our nursing homes are kept safe and we can protect our elderly that they don't get sick and end up in hospital."
