The Acting Chief Medical Officer has warned Irish people to "meet outdoors" as a "summer wave" of Covid-19 hits the nation.
Crowded areas should be avoided if you're not wearing a mask and people are being reminded to wash their hands.
Acting CMO Professor Breda Smyth said: “It's really important when we do have waves of different nature that we actually step up our behaviours again; washing our hands; wearing our masks when we do go into those crowded spaces.
