All indicators of Covid-19 in Ireland are stable or declining slowly, according to Chair of the NPHET Irish Epidemiological Modelling Advisory Group, Professor Philip Nolan.

Prof Nolan said that, though the country may see an increase in cases over the coming days, the virus reproductive or 'R' number was now estimated as being very close to 1.0.
