Speaking about the latest Covid-19 cases, Acting Chief Medical Officer, Dr Ronan Glynn said there was "absolutely no room for complacency" and that households need to start reducing their contacts.
"As we start into this new week, I am asking every household across the country to sit together this evening and make a plan to reduce the number of people you meet this week.
“We have absolutely no room for complacency. If every person, family, workplace and organisation does not play their part the situation will continue to deteriorate," said Dr Glynn.
Dr Glynn urged people living in Donegal and Dublin under the Level Three lockdown to work from home where possible.
“For people who live in Donegal and Dublin remember Government advice is to work from home unless it is essential to attend in person.
"For people living in these and all other counties, assume that Covid-19 is circulating in your community and act accordingly," said Dr Glynn.
The HSE are working with Covid-19 patients today to locate their contacts and prevent the further spread of the virus.
The 430 confirmed cases today are the highest number confirmed in a day since April.
