Daily Covid-19 reports come to an end - Health Dept
The number of Covid-19 infections, deaths and hospitalisations in the country will no longer be published daily.
The Department of Health and the National Institute of Communicable Diseases have instead decided to publish the figures on a weekly basis as of Monday.
The department's spokesperson Foster Mohale says a number of factors led to this decision.
This includes the reduced severity and transmissibility of the diseases as well as a fall in overall Civid-19 numbers.
