Workplace outbreaks of Covid-19 have increased from 4% of cases to 10% since mid-April, official figures have found.

The Central Statistics Office (CSO) said in its report on the pandemic's effect in Ireland that while the number of people who have died from Covid-19 is below 10 for the last three weeks, the number of people who have been diagnosed has risen for the first time in 10 weeks.
