Acting Chief Medical Officer Dr Ronan Glynn says there is particular concern about recent cases in Dublin and Limerick.

He said: "The next seven days are vital; everyone needs to reduce their contacts and assume any person you do meet may be carrying the virus.”

As of this morning, there were 49 confirmed COVID-19 cases in the country's hospitals.

The number of coronavirus patients in intensive care stands at six.
