The Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan has urged the public to stay at home if they are experiencing Covid-19 symptoms.
In a plea to reduce the spread of the virus, Dr Holohan called on those who are experiencing symptoms not to go to work or socialise.
Dr Holohan said the country needs to stay on top of the virus and urged people not to leave their home if they are experiencing flu or cold like symptoms.
He added that if people who are experiencing symptoms continue to mix in the public, it could lead to a chain of transmission that results in an outbreak in your local community.
