Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr Ronan Glynn said: "Based on our research to date, almost 1.7 million people are now reporting wearing face coverings in public places.
"This is an increase of 6%, or almost 300,000 people, in a week and shows that the message is getting across."
Consultant psychiatrist and HSE Integrated Care Lead Dr Siobhán Ni Bhriain added: "If you go onto public transport, or into retail environments or any place where you can’t be sure a two metre physical distance from other people is possible, you should wear a face covering.
"Face coverings are also strongly advised when visiting vulnerable people."
