An Irish doctor has warned people not to go to work or send their children to school if they are experiencing signs of infection.
Covid Lead for the Irish College of General Practitioners, Dr Nuala O'Connor, said people should not continue about their day if they are unwell, even if they get a negative result on an antigen test.
Speaking on RTE's Morning Ireland, she said: "I think what is important is to get people to focus on what are the three most important things they can do at the moment to try to help bring these numbers down and the single most important thing is to stay home of you have symptoms of infection."
