The National Public Health Emergency Team is to meet again to review progress being made in reducing the incidence of Covid-19.
Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan has said that the profile of the disease is improving but that does not mean it is time to take a step back from our adherence to public health guidelines.
Meanwhile there is concern about the slower pace of progress in Co Donegal, particularly in those parts of the county closer to the border with Northern Ireland.
There were 25 confirmed Covid-19 patients, along with another four suspected cases, being treated in Letterkenny University Hospital at 8pm last night and just one spare hospital bed available.
