Ireland is flattening the so-called curve when it comes to stopping the spread of Covid-19.
Eight more people have died from the virus, bringing the death toll to 54, while 295 new cases were diagnosed yesterday.
The National Public Health Emergency Team will meet this morning to discuss if further travel measures and supports for nursing homes are needed.
Professor Philip Nolan, who chairs the Covid-19 modelling advisory group, says we are making progress, but can't predict when the surge of cases will come.
"Clearly we're flattening the curve, and by definition that pushes the peak further out, which is good news.
"We need a lot more information before we can tell you how far out and how big that is.
"The bottom line is we really need to suppress that curve, we need to flatten it a lot more than is shown on that hart to make it manageable."
