The number of those in serious conditions who have been admitted to the ICU remains unchanged however, with seven confirmed COVID-19 cases at UHG.
There are a further three suspected cases in Galway, and two in Ballinasloe, for whom test results are being awaited.
One of the suspected cases at Portiuncula Hospital is in the Intensive Care Unit.
There were a total of 676 people hospitalised with COVID-19 in Ireland as of 8pm on Monday evening, of whom 154 were in the ICU.
