Dr. Tony Holohan, Chief Medical Officer, Department of Health, said; "The National Public Health Emergency Team will meet again Thursday 4 June to continue its review of Ireland’s response to COVID-19. NPHET will proceed to submit recommendations to the Minister for Health."

Dr Ronan Glynn, Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Department of Health said; "Our recovery rate is now at 91%. This is positive news and confirms the expectation that most people who get COVID-19 will recover. However, it remains the case that this is an unpredictable virus, and the prognosis for any one individual diagnosed, regardless of their current health, remains uncertain. Use hse.ie and gov.ie/health to stay informed and learn the behaviours that will keep you protected."

Dr. Siobhán Kennelly, HSE National Clinical Advisor and Group Lead for Older Persons; "It is our collective responsibility to continue to support vulnerable groups in our society.
