Coronavirus Ireland map: First county by county breakdown of COVID-19 cases

The Department of Health has released their first full county by county breakdown of coronavirus cases in Ireland.

Analysis of COVID-19 figures as far as Monday night show that Dublin has been hit hardest by the virus with 129 cases.

And numbers show that, up until March 16th, just three counties in the Republic of Ireland had avoided any confirmed cases of the virus.

Those counties were Leitrim, Monaghan, and Laois.

The figures from Monday breakdown the then 271 (now 366) confirmed cases of the virus into county, age, and transmission clarification.

They show that most cases have been directly related to travel abroad, while the age group most affected by the virus so far was between 35-44.

Figures also showed that there are 23 'clusters' of the virus located around the country documented so far.

And the fatality rate of the virus is at .7%.

Health officials also confirmed a further 74 new cases of COVID-19 in Ireland, bringing the total number to 366 up to noon on Wednesday, 18th March.

That means there are a further 95 cases of the virus confirmed since these figures were analysed.

“We need to continue maximising our efforts to interrupt new transmission chains and keep clusters under control.

“Reduce your social contacts to those in your closest family network.

"Practice social distancing. Stop shaking hands and hugging when you say hello.”
