Earlier the HSE's Chief Clinical Officer, Dr Colm Henry, said he understands people are feeling 'huge fatigue' over rising coronavirus infections.
"If we look at the numbers, and we've become addicted to numbers over the past year, it is very despondent - it would create great despondency to look at the numbers."
But he added: "We are not back to square one - the vaccination is something new.
"Yes the figures don't look good, there's a sense of huge fatigue among the population looking at these figures rising again.
"But the vaccinations are giving real protections to the most vulnerable".
