Mr Reid said that Ireland is still in the containment phase with coronavirus but that following the model of other European countries, it is likely that the virus will spread in Ireland.
He urged the public to follow precautions and safety advice to limit the spread of the virus and to maintain the containment phase for as long as possible, so that we have more time to "build resilience".
These precautions, he said, have been mentioned "over and over" and can be found online. They include cleaning hands thoroughly and regularly and to sneeze and cough into your elbow or a tissue.
"We are in unprecedented situation and I'm very clear on that, because if you look at the last week alone in terms of the experience in northern Italy, they've moved from about 400 cases (last week) to just about 3,000 today and in the UK about a week ago had 13 cases to 51 today," Mr Reid said.
"The experience in Europe has been that it does at a certain stage become more embedded into the community, however, we are at the stage when we can prolong that as long as we possibly can," he said.
"It is a virus that attacks pretty rapidly but the longer you can keep it in the containment phase, the longer we can build a resilience and build a capacity for when it does step up to a further scale.

How your mindset may make the coronavirus seem riskier
"The phase we are in now is very clearly still the containment phase and the public call to action is what we really need everyone to do. We are urging the public to do everything they can, to do everything we ask of them."
When Jonathan Healy, filling in on the Pat Kenny Show, questioned Mr Reid on the number of people the virus is expected to infect in Ireland, he did not supply a figure.
He also would say if one of the four newly diagnose coronavirus patients worked a shift in emergency department in the west of Ireland after contracting Covid-19.
The HSE Chief said that reporting too much information is both a breach of patient confidentiality and also has the potential to spread panic, which for now, he says, is unnecessary.
"You have a very significant population who say 'just come out and give all of the facts - the school involved etc," he said.
"The challenge for us is that you have to get the right balance between creating the right public awareness across the entire country.

"The experience so far of people who would have tested positive for the virus, 80pc of those are fine and the vast majority of those with the virus won't even have symptoms in the first place.
"About 13pc of those confirmed will be serious and will need isolation. About 5pc will be critical and we know there is a percentage of mortality across the world so far. That's the scale we are dealing with.
"We shouldn't create a sense of panic and neither do we want a sense of complacency but my very clear message to the public is, we do need you to act, we need to to do it responsibly and to take our advice seriously and if you do we will contain this as long as we possibly can."

![SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - MARCH 05: Customer service worker Candy Huang has her temperature tested at the award winning Golden Century Seafood Restaurant in Chinatown on March 05, 2020 in Sydney, Australia. The Golden Century Seafood Restaurant has experienced a sudden drop in clientele of 50% this past week. To help safeguard against the coronavirus outbreak they have implemented daily temperature screening of all employees, hourly cleaning of all main public surfaces, including all handrails and the provision of customer hand sanitiser. Chinese restaurant owners across Sydney say the current restrictions in place on people travelling from mainland China to Australia means they have lost the majority of their usual clientele - Chinese tourists and students. A number of restaurants have already gone into liquidation.
