Dr Tony Holohan, Chief Medical Officer at the Department of Health said the virus "has taken root in every single part of the country".
He said that a "significant percentage of the population", above one in ten in some counties is currently either a case or a close contact, which is "a huge burden of infection".
"When you consider that a significant percentage of our daily cases will directly lead to hospitalisation and mortality, the urgency with which we need to act becomes clear,"he added.
"By staying at home, you are protecting our health and social care services as they struggle against the enormous burden of infection that many weeks with thousands of daily cases of COVID-19 represents.”
Meanwhile, 705 new cases of COVID-19 have been recorded in Northern Ireland in the last 24 hours.
There have also been 22 additional deaths reported by the Department of Health there.
