But five more people have sadly died from the deadly illness.
The total number of deaths now stands at 1,913 while there have been 61,456 confirmed cases of the virus.
Chief Medical Officer, Dr Tony Holohan, said the country was making progress in suppressing the spread of the disease.
He said: "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.”
