Donegal has the highest 14-day incidence rate in the country.

Milford in Co Donegal once again has the highest 14-day incidence rate of Covid-19 in the country.

The local electoral area's rate is over five times the national average, at 683 cases per 100,000.

That's up slightly on 675 last week - and remains the worst in the country.

Letterkenny, also in Donegal, was the second highest last week, but it's dropped to third highest this week.

It had a rate of 547 on Monday, down from 594 last week.

The second worst this week is Nenagh in Co Tipperary, at 594, and the fourth worst is Newbridge in Co Kildare, at 485.

17 areas had less than five cases in the two-week period, including parts of Mayo, Galway, Clare, Cork, Kerry, Waterford, Kilkenny, Carlow and Wexford.
