Tullamore in County Offaly continues to have the highest incidence rate of Covid-19 in the country.

Over the past two weeks there were 408 per 100,000 people more than three times the national average.

The figures from the Health Protection Surveillence Centre are up to Monday, when the national incidence rate was 131.

In total there are 10 local electoral areas with a rate greater than 300, including Ongar, Ballymun-Finglas and Donaghmede in Dublin, as well as Milford in Donegal and Cavan-Belturbet.

A number of those areas with high rates have had pop-up testing centres set-up to detect asypmtomatic cases in the past couple of weeks.

18 electoral areas nationally have a rate of less than five cases with areas of Kerry, Clare, Cork and Tipperary having some of the lowest infection rates in the country.
