Acting CMO Ronan Glynn said: “The spirit of the response to Covid-19 since the outset of this pandemic has been solidarity and cooperation. While this pandemic is a uniquely challenging time for everyone, we can and will support one another in getting through this.
“Encourage your family and friends to heed the public health advice. Now more than ever, we need to work collectively. Our individual actions count on a population level.
“Every one of us doing our bit in our daily lives – halving our social contacts, working from home, keeping our distance, wearing a face covering, washing our hands – matters a great deal.
“These small, positive steps taken together amount to our best and strongest defence against the virus.”
Earlier in the day, the UK raised its Covid-19 alert for the first time since June.
Reports suggest that Boris Johnson is considering a national 10pm curfew for pubs and restaurants, and a ban on any two households socialising together indoors.
