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

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.
