A new list of the towns and areas in Dublin hardest-hit by coronavirus has been released by the Department of Health.
And while four Dublin areas are in the 'danger zone' ahead of Christmas, one place is leading the way and could hold the key for the capital exiting Level 5 on December 1 and even jumping to Level 2 as is rumoured.
As you probably know by now following our weekly updates, health chiefs use a key measure called the 'incidence rate of confirmed cases per 100,000 population' to determine the best and worst spots all over Ireland.
And by this metric Tallaght South is the worst-hit region in Dublin this week with a rate of 310.2.
Three other places make up the redzones in the capital with Ashbourne on the Dublin/Meath border also reporting high rates of 268.2.
But there are some positive signs as the overall incidence rate continues to reduce all over the country.
Killiney-Shankill is showing heroic signs as they report less than 50 in this week's report turning on a light yellow colour over their region as three other 'light orange' areas follow suit.
Here is the the hardest-hit regions in Dublin by Local Electoral Area:
Tallaght South: 310.2
Swords: 288.1
Ballymun-Finglas: 272.7
Blanchardstown-Mulhuddart: 269.1
And here is the areas doing the best:
Killiney-Shankill: 47.3
Blackrock: 68.2
Dundrum: 69.4
Dún Laoghaire: 79.3
