Offaly's Covid Incidence Rate One Of The Lowest In Ireland

Quite the contrast from this time last year, when a localised lockdown was enforced to manage sky-rocketing case numbers in the midlands.

Offaly has one of the lowest Covid 19 infection rates in the country. 

The Faithful county has a 14 day incidence rate of 205 per 100,000 people - with 67 cases being confirmed in the last week. 

The latest figures from the Health Protection Surveillance Centre also show, Laois has a rate of 413 - after 142 people tested positive for the virus, in the same period. 

122 cases were also detected in Westmeath. It now has a rate of 274.

Donegal remains the county with the highest rate of incidence at 767, while Waterford has the lowest at 168.
