Ireland entered into a six week lockdown on October 21, which is due to end at the start of December.
The Irish measures aren't quite as strict as the first lockdown in March, with schools and construction sites allowed to stay open, while more people are allowed at funerals and weddings.
As case figures continue to fall at an encouraging rate, many have been left wondering what will happen after December 1.
In reality, it is likely that we will return to Level Three measures for the Christmas period, albeit there have been some suggestions we could go to Level Two.
But with that in mind, it's worth taking a look at what the drop was like during the earlier lockdown.
How low did the cases go at the end of the first lockdown?
May 16 - 15 deaths from Covid-19 along with 92 new cases.
May 17 - 10 deaths and 64 cases.
May 18 - The government's roadmap of easing Covid-19 restrictions began.
May 31 - 66 cases and 2 deaths.
Ireland continued to ease restrictions in the summer.
June 30 - 11 cases and 1 death were reported.
July 31 - 38 cases and no deaths were reported.
In August, Ireland began to tighten restrictions once more.
What level are we at now?
On Monday, there was 270 new cases of Covid-19 were reported in Ireland, along with one more death.
Over the past 14 days, 7,665 Covid-19 cases have been notified to the Department of Health.
As of 2pm on Monday there were 291 Covid-19 patients in hospitals, including 39 people with the virus in intensive care units.
Deputy chief medical officer Dr Desmond Hickey said Ireland's progress in the fight against the spread of the disease was 'notable' across Europe.
"We are continuing to see a worsening disease profile in many countries in Europe over the last number of weeks, and Ireland remains notable in its overall progress in reducing disease transmission and incidence," he said.
"Ireland has been the greatest improvement with 43% reduction in its 14-day incidence compared with the previous two weeks," he added.
What measures will be in place at Christmas?
Dr Tony Holohan said he would "not speculate" on what measures would be in place in the run up to Christmas.
"Ultimately Government will decide what measures will be in place in December and beyond," he added.
Dr Holohan explained that NPHET had not finalised any of its advice for after December 1, but he warned that people would still have to maintain a "very high standard of public health practice".
"Everything will depend from our point of view on the progress we make with the virus," he said.
Dr Holohan also said there was "nothing inevitable" about a third wave and that people's behaviours can influence when it happens, how significant it is and how quickly it happens.
