Exact location of today's 255 coronavirus cases in Ireland as two smaller counties see leap

Dublin again had the most coronavirus cases today with Waterford and Donegal also seeing big jumps.

The Department of Health announced 255 cases with 156 of those in Dublin - just one further death was confirmed.

Waterford surprisingly saw a leap of 22 cases in the last 24 hours with 13 in Donegal.

Another 11 were in Wicklow, nine in Limerick, eight in Kildare, five in Clare and the remaining 31 cases in Carlow, Cork, Galway, Kerry, Laois, Longford, Louth, Mayo, Meath, Offaly, Tipperary, Westmeath and Wexford.

Of these new cases, 129 are men and 123 are women, 68% are under 45 years of age.

34% are confirmed to be associated with outbreaks or are close contacts of a confirmed case while 69 cases have been identified as community transmission.

Earlier Dr Glynn urged people in Dublin to limit their social contacts, as the average number of cases for the capital rose to an average 104 per day.

As it stands, cases in Dublin are rising at 4% per day, and would double over the next two weeks if nothing changes.
