For nine out of the past 14 days, the number of new cases of Covid-19 has been "stuck" at between 500 and 650. It has been a little less on other days.

NPHET described the situation at its briefing on Thursday as being "plateaued" or "static". It said there was no one group to whom this plateau could be attributed and, to much criticism on social media, appealed to everyone to do "a little bit more".

The numbers tonight have moved significantly, but unfortunately they have gone in the wrong direction, with 769 new cases notified.

These are of course the figures for just one day. Also, this has not been a typical week with a bank holiday in the middle of it.
