An expert tasked with measuring the spread of the Covid-19 for the National Public Health Emergency Team has said that since restrictions began to be eased on 18 May, all indicators suggest there has been no significant increased spread of the virus.
Professor Philip Nolan, chair of the Irish Epidemiological Modelling Advisory Group for NPHET, said this shows that Irish people "have learned how to go about their business and not spread this virus".
Prof Nolan said that individual responsibility will be central to continued suppression of the virus. Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, he urged people to continue to maintain social distancing, exercise hand and cough hygiene, to wear face coverings, and to self-isolate and contact their GP
