Dublin is home to the highest number of cases with 228 in the capital.
Meanwhile there are 130 cases in Cork, 47 in Galway, 31 in Meath, 27 in Limerick while the remaining 257 cases are distributed throughout 20 other counties.
Dr Tony Holohan says there's been a reduction in the five-day moving average. He says it's too early to consider it being a trend.
Not at the stage when we can conclude we're heading in the right direction.
