It is now nearly two weeks since the Level Five lockdown began.
There have been some positive signs that Ireland is starting to get to grips with the virus again as the growth rate continues to slow nationally.
However that is not the case everywhere, and in the last fortnight five counties have actually seen an increase in the incidence rate in confirmed cases per 100,000 population.
This metric is one of the most important ones used by health officials to determine the prevalence of Covid-19 in an area.
Here we have compared figures released yesterday by the Department of Health, with statistics released on the day Level Five measures were announced, which covered the period up to October 20.
In that period, Louth saw a noticeable increase, with its rate going from 260.7 to 298.7, as did Carlow, which went from 203.8 to 275.8.
The incidence in Mayo has also been steadily climbing, from 207.7 on October 20 to 229.9 yesterday, and it is the same story in Waterford, as it went from 160.1 to 201.4
Finally the only other county that has seen a growth in the last two weeks is Tipperary, which went from 116.6 to 130.4.
While most other areas have seen a strong decline in numbers, it should be noted that Dublin has also seen very little change, going from 242.6 to 227.2.
