A doctor at University Hospital Waterford says the number of patients coming in with Covid-19 are being easily managed
at the moment.
The HSE's Crisis Management Team in the South East is appealing to people to adhere to public health guidlelines.
Yesterday saw the highest daily death toll from Covid-19 in the Republic so far.
210 people have now died from the virus.
The number of confirmed cases in Waterford remains unchanged
As of midnight on Sunday, there were 49 confirmed cases of coronavirus here.
The Crisis Management Team in the South East says community and individual actions are vital to reducing the spread of virus.
They're asking people to stay at home as much as possible, wash your hands properly and often, exercise within 2 kilometres of your home, and maintain a distance of 2 metres with other people.
Dr Donncha O'Gradaigh , Clinical Director for Medical Services at UHW, says physical distancing is working.
Speaking to WLR News he said we have to stick with the measures in place.
"You go down the road to work and you meet very few people out, so people are sticking to this and as long as we can do that the spread will slow down and
we will be able to stay on top of it and we will take our advice from the national health service as to when these restrictions can be lifted. if we jump too soon
all of the effort over the past four to six weeks will be for nothing so we have got to stick with it.
Dr O'Gradaigh says they have enough PPE equipment at present
"We did receive some supplies from some schools and science lab equipment which is going to be really helpful. At the moment the supply chain is effective.
We are getting enough PPE equipment, we are having to think all the time about how to use that most efficiently, make sure that we still have to protect the
people in the front line when the number of cases does start to increase.
