Ireland's top doctor has issued an urgent plea to the people of Dublin to "take personal responsibility" as COVID-19 cases continue to rise.
The capital recorded a whopping 152 out the overall 326 cases today. No further deaths were reported.
Acting CMO Dr Ronan Glynn has said that people need to limit the size of their social network over the next few weeks.
This was aimed at those in Dublin and Donegal as the two counties have seen a considerable jump in coronavirus cases recently.
He said: "Today I am asking people everywhere but particularly in Donegal and Dublin to pay special attention to the public health advice.
“I ask every individual to take personal responsibility to prioritise who you need to see, limit the size of your social network and reduce your social contacts over the coming days and weeks.
“Because while there is every chance that other areas will have to move to level 3, there is nothing inevitable about it. We have seen previously how people working together can turn the tide on this virus and bring increasing trajectories back under control.
“Know how valuable your individual actions are. Your choices and your actions are part of how we will succeed.”
