THE 14-day incidence rate per 100,000 population in Donegal continues to be more than twice the national average.
Latest Health Protection Surveillance Centre figures this evening show that it currently stands at 300.9 per 100,000 with the national average at 145.
The lowest national 14-day incidence rate was on 3 July when the rate was 2.98 cases per 100,000 population.
It comes as 48 new Covid-19 cases were reported in the county this evening, second only to Dublin (90) with Limerick (34), Louth (29) and Cork (24) completing the top five.
Dr Tony Holohan, Chief Medical Officer, Department of Health, said the profile of the disease was improving.
“While this is a positive trend, it does not mean it is time to take a step back from our adherence to public health guidelines. I urge everyone to redouble their efforts, try and have fewer close contacts this week than you did last week, continue to social distance and follow the other vitally important public health guidelines.”
