Contact-tracing is going to change in an attempt to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
It will now include people who were in close contact with a confirmed case 48 hours before they showed symptoms.
Professor Karina Butler from the Infectious Disease Society of Ireland says this, along with the restriction measures, is a very positive development.
"It will help us identify and shrink the potential for this virus to transmit even more.
"Everyone is working at this, we can see it.
"People are taking this on board, and I'm very hopeful we'll see a further flattening of the curve towards the end of next week."
