Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan has said the country knows a lot more about Covid-19 than it did in March and that if there was to be a resurgence of the disease, the same measures would not need to be taken.
Dr Holohan was speaking after eight new cases of the virus were reported yesterday, the lowest daily figure since the 11 March.
It brings the total number of cases to 25,238. The Department of Health also said a further eight people have died following a diagnosis of Covid-19.
It brings the overall death toll here to 1,703. The number of confirmed Covid-19 patients in general hospital beds has dropped substantially since April, from 865 at its peak to 116 this week.
