The chief physician, Dr. Tony Holohan, noted that “the overall situation has improved” but said it was “early days”.
“This improvement will only be sustained if we continue our efforts,” he said.
“We need to remember that the incidence is increasing in older age groups who are particularly susceptible to this disease. We can protect them if we continue to reduce transmission across the population. ”
Epidemiologist Prof. Philip Nolan said the disease reproductive rate, or R-rate, is close to 1.
The R-rate measures how many people a person infected with Covid-19 on average. A rate below 1 means the virus is in decline.
Prof. Nolan said this was the first time in several weeks that “positive indicators” of the disease had been reported but that progress was “very fragile”.
“We should take these positive signs as an indication that our efforts are starting to work. The bottom line now is to maintain it. The virus will look for a way to spread, ”he said.
