The Chief Medical Officer says it's time for people to be hopeful and to start planning for the summer.

Dr Tony Holohan says he wants next week to be a 'significant turning point' in the pandemic, as restrictions ease.

26 new cases of Covid-19 were reported in Donegal in the latest set of figures released by the Department of Health.

Once again there were no new cases in Sligo.  Less than 5 were confirmed in Leitrim.

393 cases were detected nationally while 8 additional deaths were also reported in last night’s figures.

Dr Gerald Barry, an assistant professor of virology in UCD, says people should be optimistic for the summer ahead.
