The median age of those who died is 85 years, and the age range is between 55 and 96 years.
The 14-day incidence nationally is 674 cases per 100,000 people.
49 new cases of the virus have been confirmed in Waterford. That's according to the provisional county-by-county data released by the HPSC.
The five-day moving average of cases in Waterford is also 49.
1,029 people have been diagnosed with Covid-19 in Waterford between the 13th and the 26th of January. The 14-day incidence rate is now 884.7 per 100,000 people. It's down from 953.7 yesterday.
Dr Tony Holohan, Chief Medical Officer, Department of Health, said: "The current 14-day incidence remains more than double the peak incidence experienced during previous Level 5 measures in October, therefore, now is not the time to drop your guard and start to interact with people outside your household.
"The risk of transmission in the community remains very high.
"We must continue to work towards reducing incidence of disease and preventing further hospitalisations and deaths."
