The Chief Medical Officer says the pattern of Covid-19 is still trending upwards, despite a drop in the number of daily cases.
264 new infections were recorded yesterday, along with two further deaths.
There were 9 new cases of the virus in Mayo yesterday, with 5 in Galway, less than 5 in Sligo and no new cases reported in either Roscommon or Leitrim.
Mayo has recorded 139 new cases of Covid over the past 2 weeks, pushing the county's 14-day incidence rate well above the national average.
The rate nationally is now 83 per 100,000 people - but has risen to 106 in Mayo.
Mayo is one of 12 counties above the national average, and the 14-day incidence of the virus in a number of counties is continuing to rise.
Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan says the five-day moving average is still increasing, and he's urging people to adhere to the public health guidelines.
