A significant tightening of COVID-19 restrictions in Ireland two weeks ago appears to be working, a senior health official said on Tuesday.
"It's early to say, but we would be optimistic. We have had a stable daily case count now since Aug. 19," Philip Nolan, Chair of the Irish Epidemiological Modelling Advisory Group, told national broadcaster RTE.
