12 new cases were confirmed in Cork yesterday

The Chief Medical Officer says the recent stabilisation in cases of Covid 19 is fragile.

Dr. Tony Holohon say it's within our grasp to maximise our protection against the spread of the virus by following public health advice.

It comes as 265 new cases have been confirmed in the Republic, and six more deaths.

Donegal GP Denis McCauley says it is risky to open restaurants and gastropubs:

'The decision with the restaurants in the gastropubs, probably will have consequences. And I think that the general principle is that if you start at the beginning of the week and you minimize the amount of people that you meet generally it sort of lessens the risk of spread. So naturally if you meet a number of people from different households, there is an inherent risk in that.'
