Currently, Louth is the second hardest hit county over the last fortnight, with an incidence of 76.8. This is followed by Leitrim on 71.8.
This means that there are now two other counties in Ireland that have a higher incidence rate than Dublin did when NPHET advised wet pubs should not reopen.
While Waterford, at 64.6, Offaly, at 61.6, and Kildare, at 55.3, are also close to the levels of Covid-19 seen in Dublin last week.
