New app to track the spread of the crown virus.
Aip nua le súil a choinneáil ar leathadh an choróinvíris.
The Department of Health and the Health Service Executive have launched a new app this morning to track people close to others who have contracted the virus.
Tá aip nua seolta ar maidin ag an Roinn Sláinte agus ag Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte a choinneos cuntas ar dhaoine a bhí i ngar do dhaoine eile a bhfuil an coróinvíreas tolgtha acu.
This app will not be able to determine if a person has contracted the disease but if so, the person close to them may be informed.
Ní bheidh an aip seo in ann a dheimhniú an bhfuil an aicíd tolgtha ag duine ach má tá, beidh cead eolas a thabhairt don dream a raibh an té sin i ngar dóibh.
These people can immediately test to see if they also have Covid-19.
Féadfaidh na daoine sin tástáil a dhéanamh láithreach go bhfeice siad an bhfuil covid 19 orthusan chomh maith.
The app is available for free and Health Minister Stephen Donnelly is urging people to download it on their mobile phones.
Tá an aip le fáil in aisce agus tá an tAire Sláinte Stephen Donnelly ag achainí ar dhaoine í a íoslódáil ar a dteileafóin phóca.
He said that this technology is being used in other countries and is working well.
Dúirt sé go bhfuil gaisneas á bhaint as as an teicneolaíocht seo i dtíortha eile agus go bhfuil ag éirí léi.
There have been 1,741 deaths of Covid-19 in the Republic of Ireland and 25,531 people have been infected in the country since the outbreak.
Tá 1,741 duine básaithe le covid 19 i bPoblacht na hÉireann agus tá sé tolgtha ag 25,531 duine sa tír ó thosaigh an ráig.
There were no recorded deaths of Covid-19 in the State yesterday for the second day in a row.
Níor taifeadadh aon duine a bheith básaithe le covid 19 sa Stát inné don dara lá as a chéile.
