The Acting Chief Medical Officer has raised concerns over "fast increasing" trends of coronavirus in a number of counties.
One of them is Cork, where a fifth of cases in the past two weeks have been linked to pubs and restaurants.
While in Galway, there's been a large cluster following a house party attended by young people.
390 new cases of Covid 19 were confirmed last night and no further deaths.
Acting chief medical officer Dr Ronan Glynn says there are some areas he will be keeping a close eye on.
He said: "Unfortunately we're seeing particularly fast increasing incidence [of Covid-19 infection] in a number of counties. I want to highlight Cork and Galway, which we've been doing now for about a week, but also Monaghan and Roscommon, because their overall population sizes are lower, their incidences can rise very quickly with a relatively small number of cases but that said, they do stand out for the speed of which the situation there is deteriorating."
