Dr. Cillian De Gascun:

That is what we have seen. It is important to remember that although the numbers have been very positive and encouraging over the last few days, the case numbers we are reporting this week refer to infections that would have occurred seven to ten days ago. As our colleagues in public health and the HSE do more investigation into cases on a daily basis, we will get more information about those. Obviously we saw surges around places of employment but my understanding from the data this week is that more of the cases seem to be related to household contacts which is why we want people, as soon as they develop symptoms, to isolate themselves, contact their GP and get tested so that they are not infecting other people in the household.
