The National Public Health Emergency Team will host another briefing today to announce Ireland's latest coronavirus figures.
New restrictions were announced by Acting Chief Medical Officer Dr Ronan Glynn and the Taoiseach this week after a surge in cases over the past two weeks.
It comes after Kildare, Laois and Offaly were all placed on strict lockdown on August 7 following an alarming jump.
NPHET met this morning to discuss the possibility of either lifting, easing or reimposing restrictions in the three counties.
They will now make a recommendation to Cabinet, with an announcement expected in the coming days, likely tomorrow.
Here's everything you need to know about tonight's briefing:
What time will the briefing start?

What else do I need to know?
While it is unlikely Kildare, Laois and Offaly residents will find out today, NPHET met this morning to discuss whether or not they believe the measures should be lifted, eased or extended.
It comes after Professor Philip Nolan warned yesterday that the level of community transmission of the deadly bug had doubled in a 10 day period.
He also said that the turn-around time for testing and contact tracing has risen dramatically to 2.85 days in recent weeks, up from 1.93 days on July 16.
Mr Nolan, who is the Chair of NPHET's Epidemiological Modelling Advisory Group, said: "One of the things that is difficult to monitor is the level of community transition, and the reason is this is that every case requires detailed investigation by public health teams, and it's only after that investigation that you know where someone has picked-up the disease.
"So we've had several hundred cases reported in the last seven days, prior to that, the level of community transmission was very low.
