Thousands of kids are home from school.
The HSE has clarified its position on play dates over the next two weeks.
Parents are being advised to limit the number of children involved in play dates and to make sure they're not displaying any symptoms. Thousands of children are home from school, while creches and colleges are also closed.
There had been some confusion around play dates while the schools and creches are closed.
Around 900,000 school children in almost 4,000 schools are to stay at home for the next two weeks, while thousands more children and toddlers are off creche. People are being reminded to use their common sense, practice social distancing and continue washing their hands.
Meanwhile in Northern Ireland, the Deputy First Minister says schools there should be closing in response to Coronavirus. Michelle O'Neill's been speaking at Stormont this morning, despite saying last night that the North wasn't at that stage yet.
