The World Health Organisation has given advice to young people in Ireland and the world as Covid cases continue to grow.
Ireland is seeing a resurgence in cases with the majority amongst young people - 81% of cases on Wednesday were aged under 45.
And the Government is now attempting to reengage younger people with their advice on staying safe and fighting the pandemic.
House parties and large gatherings of young people are one of the main areas for concern for the Government at this moment in time.
And now the World Health Organisation has a part of their website dedicated to answering questions from adolescents.
Most are targeted at teenagers who may be becoming "bored" of the pandemic.
Answering the question of "when will the pandemic end?" the experts give the expected answer while pleading with young people to hang in there.
A spokesperson said: "We don’t know when the pandemic will end, but we know it depends on every individual’s contribution in helping stop the transmission.
"The sacrifices you have made by not seeing your friends and by stopping going to school and other activities are your contributions to fighting the pandemic. By putting societies and economies on hold, we have reduced the ability of the virus to spread through our communities.
"These defensive measures have helped to limit some of the short-term impacts of the virus, and bought us time to translate what we have learned about the virus into solutions so that we can get back to a more familiar way of living. It is important that you continue to practise these measures and encourage your friends to do the same."
For people worried that their friends are not following public advice the WHO says to try educate them as best they can.
They say on their website: "Explain to your friends why it is important to protect themselves and others by washing their hands, avoiding touching their face, always coughing or sneezing into their elbow, sleeve, or a tissue, and cooperating with physical distancing measures and movement restrictions when called on to do so.
"Maybe you can share ideas for fun virtual activities that your friends can participate in, and you can encourage them to do them together with you or with other friends.
"This way you are giving them alternatives rather than just telling them to stay at home. But, remember that you do not have control over other peoples’ actions so do not get into an argument or a fight to try to change their minds."
