Dr Tony Holohan, Chief Medical Officer at the Department of Health said: “We are making progress in suppressing the current rise of COVID-19.
"Ireland is currently one of only four countries in the EU with a reduction in its seven-day incidence.
"Nationally, our reproductive number has reduced to about 1.0.
“We are working collectively to achieve suppression, but it is too early to ease our efforts.
"The incidence is decreasing in young adults but it continues to rise in those aged over 75. We have more to do but we are on the right track.”
He said earlier today on Twitter that we are making progress with the virus, especially young people, but that it is "too early to stop" and "we need to keep it up".
He warned that coronavirus rates are still increasing among those aged over 65.
We are making progress on #COVID19 - we are following public health advice. Young people especially. Best country in EU in most recent 7-day rates. But- too early to stop. Rates still rising in >65s and have not dropped in Dublin. We need to keep it up. @HSELive @roinnslainte
