There are worrying signs of “slippage” in the public's behaviour, and this could have an impact on the spread of the coronavirus, Professor Philip Nolan, chair of Nphet’s Epidemiological Modelling Advisory Group has warned. 

Prof Nolan said the plea to the public is to "pull back" and “hold on” for a few more weeks to keep the virus suppressed.
