ICU units are still under pressure with just two available beds in the region.
1,823 people with Covid-19 are being treated in Irish hospitals this morning - the lowest figure in 11 days.
It's the largest percentage fall in the number of patients in a single day since December 1st.
In the past 24 hours there have been 97 admissions associated with Covid-19, while there were 154 discharges, which is just shy of the record set last Tuesday.
Despite the fall in numbers from the record of 2,020, there is still more than 1,000 patients with Covid-19 in hospitals receiving treatment compared with the peak in the first wave.
100 people are being treated for covid-19 in midlands hospitals today, along with 15 suspected cases.
The number of covid patients in intensive care has dropped from 18 yesterday to 14 today.
However, the number of available ICU beds remains unchanged - with one bed available in both Tullamore and Mullingar Hospitals.
