Coronavirus Ireland: Second county set to hit one month without a new case

Kerry has gone nearly one month without a single new case of coronavirus, statistics show.

While Sligo, which was the first county to go one month without a new infection, saw its first new Covid-19 case reported in nearly five weeks.

Cavan, Dublin, Limerick and Monaghan were the other counties that saw a rise in case numbers in the latest figures released by the Health Protection Surveillance Centre.

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

The statistics are valid up to midnight on Sunday, June 14. This means Kerry has gone 28 days without a new infection.

It comes after a further three people died and 14 new cases of Covid-19 were announced last night.

The figures were released by the Department of Health on Tuesday evening.

The death toll from the virus in the country now stands at 1,709 and the total number of confirmed cases now stands at 25,334.
