NPHET is predicting that there will be between 1,800 and 2,500 cases reported daily with 400 people in hospital by the end of the month.
NPHET has also looked at data around traffic, debit card and ATM activity since level 3 restrictions came into effect and has concluded that overall the public has not changed its behaviour.
The public is being urged to take personal responsibility to suppress the virus and to encourage others to act responsibly.
