Chief Medical Officer, Dr Tony Holohan, said seeing the case numbers soar over 1,000 was "extremely concerning".

He added: "Every single one of us has a role to play. We each need to reduce contact with other people as much as possible, so that means staying at home, working from home where possible, practicing physical distancing and stopping discretionary socialising.”

Dr. Ronan Glynn, Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Department of Health added: “People must now make choices. Stop meeting up in groups, stop socialising, stop organising play dates, parties and other social activities.

"People must recognise that the disease is a direct threat to themselves and their families. Now is the time for each of us to act.”
