Three-quarters of the 40 cases of Covid-19 confirmed in the Republic yesterday involved people under the age of 45.
It was the highest number of cases in six weeks, bringing the total number to 25,929.
But no new deaths were recorded, meaning the death toll remains at 1,764.
Sligo native Dr Mike Ryan, from the World Health Organisation, says many countries have a spike in cases when restrictions are lifted.
