Health officials have announced 11 new cases of the coronavirus in Ireland today.
That brings the total number of cases in the country since the pandemic began to 25,542.
There have also been no further deaths from COVID-19 in the country.
So far, 1,738 people have sadly lost their lives as a result of the disease.
Dr Ronan Glynn, Acting Chief Medical Officer, Department of Health, said; “A key element of our response to COVID-19 is ensuring that any person experiencing symptoms (cough, shortness of breath, fever, loss of sense of smell or taste) comes forward for testing. Please do not adopt a ‘wait-and-see’ approach, instead isolate yourself and contact your GP without delay.
“The National Public Health Emergency Team meets again tomorrow (Thursday 9 July) to continue its review of Ireland’s response and preparedness to COVID-19.”
Yesterday, it emerged that Dublin has seen a huge drop in the number of coronavirus cases in the county.
The number of confirmed infections in the capital fell by 15 in yesterday's Health Protection Surveillance Centre statistics.
This is a much bigger change than any other county, with Kerry, Kildare and Sligo each reporting an increase of just one.
A total of 12,255 people in Dublin tested positive for Covid-19 up to midnight on Sunday, July 5.
The World Health Organization has acknowledged there is "emerging evidence" that Covid-19 could be spread through particles in the air.
Professor Benedetta Allegranzi, technical lead for infection prevention and control, said the possibility of airborne transmission in "crowded, closed, poorly ventilated" settings could not be ruled out.
It comes after more than 200 scientists wrote an open letter to the agency urging officials to recognise the possibility of airborne transmission of the virus.
Current guidelines from the WHO focus on the virus being spread primarily through droplets from the nose or mouth, which are expelled when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks.
