There are growing concerns at the increasing trends surrounding Covid-19.
The chief medical officer Dr Tony Holohan says the five-day average of daily cases has increased from 350 last week - to 424 today, and has urged people to follow the health advice.
366 new cases of the virus were reported yesterday - as well as 11 deaths, all of which happened in November.
The government's likely to make a decision on how to exit level 5 restrictions towards the end of next week.
