The Department of Health has announced seven new cases of coronavirus in Ireland.
The overall number of cases now stands at 25,826.
A further nine people have sadly lost their lives to COVID-19 bringing the death toll to 1,763.
It's understood that eight of these new deaths actually occurred in April, May and June - meaning the figure of nine represents one recent fatality.
Acting Chief Medical Officer, Dr Ronan Glynn said: "Two weeks ago we expressed our concerns about worrying trends in the progression of COVID-19 in Ireland.
"Collectively, people in Ireland have responded to this call for action and together have broken chains of transmission.
"This is a further demonstration of the power of people working together and rising to the continued challenge of this unprecedented pandemic. What we need now is to hold firm and keep up the good work."
