The HSE is investigating whether the deaths were linked to contaminated drugs, with tests yet to be carried out by health officials.
At this moment in time, the HSE has no information to indicate that concern is emerging on the Cork heroin market or that new batches are in circulation.
Communications are issued when extra risky batches are identified on the market, ensuring awareness among local users and stakeholders.
Local services in Cork will support service users during the weekend and will work with the HSE to monitor the market to identify if extra risky substances are circulating.
