NPHET and the government have taken measures tougher than any other in Europe, Asia, Australia, America, Canada and most of Africa.
Ireland ranks seventh out of 186 nations based on the severity of the lockdown.
The only other counties with similar restrictions on citizens are Eritrea, Venezuela, Peru, Chile, Honduras, and Argentina.
