Coronavirus Ireland: Second county officially goes one month without a new case

Kerry has officially gone one month without a new case of coronavirus, latest statistics show.

It is the second county to go more than four weeks without an infection since the outbreak began in Ireland, after Sligo previously achieved the same feat.

The Kingdom currently stands on 308 confirmed Covid-19 cases, a figure that has not changed since Sunday, May 17.

The latest statistics from the Health Protection Surveillance Centre are valid up to midnight on Tuesday, June 16.

This means Kerry has gone 30 days without a new infection.

Meanwhile the Government has released a new interactive map showing the exact locations of coronavirus cases in every town in Ireland.

The new Covid-19 data hub includes a breakdown of confirmed infections right down to a local electoral division level.

The interactive map shows how many cases are in each area, along with the population of the region.

It also offers a calculation of the number of confirmed cases per 100k, so that regions of different sizes can be roughly compared.

The statistics make clear that Dublin was the epicentre of the outbreak in Ireland, accounting for nearly half of all positive tests here.

However the Government stresses that the figures are based on the total number of cases since the pandemic began, and that most will have already fully recovered within the expected 14-day period.

Also, any areas that have less than five confirmed infections in total will not give an exact figure.

The full breakdown of cases in every Electoral Division is available on the Government's Covid-19 Data Hub website HERE.
