Ireland recorded no new Covid-19 deaths, but saw 61 new cases announced on Sunday.
Acting Chief Medical Officer Dr Ronan Glynn urged the public to keep following guidelines, saying "we're not powerless" against the deadly bug.
"I know that at times we can all feel powerless against COVID-19. But we are not", he said in a statement.
"Each of us has a range of simple tools at our disposal – knowing the risks, washing our hands, not touching our faces, keeping physically distant, avoiding crowds, limiting visitors to our homes, and wearing a face covering.
"But the most powerful tool of all remains our solidarity with one another – by encouraging each other to stick with the basic measures and by continuing to act and adapt together we can suppress the transmission of this virus once again.”
