Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, an Irish politician said that the decreased death toll due to coronavirus in Ireland is a milestone in containing the outbreak and hope for the country to come out of this pandemic successfully.

According to The Department of Health, another 59 COVID-19 confirmed cases have been reported. The total figure of coronavirus cases in Ireland has reached 24,698.
Dr. Tony Holohan, the chief medical officer said in the last week that the Irish population followed the guidelines and restrictions to overcome the outbreak since March due to which they were successful in eliminating the virus from their community effectively.
