Tougher travel restrictions into and on the island of Ireland will be discussed when the National Public Health Emergency Team meets this morning.
A further 295 cases of Covid-19 were diagnosed yesterday, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 2,910, while eight more people have died.
Modelling data shows Ireland is beginning to flatten the so-called curve, and we aren't on track for an unmitigated epidemic.
Chief medical officer Tony Holohan says travel into Ireland will be discussed later this morning.
"We've seen a huge reduction in the amount of travel into the country.
"Anyone travelling into the island from overseas subjects themselves to a 14 day self quarantine period.
"We'll keep the whole issue, we'll meet again as the National Public Health Emergency Team and the question of measures in relation to travel within the island and travel onto the island will be on the agenda."
