The rate of Covid-19 in Co Donegal is over twice as high as any other county.

It's more than three times the national average.

New data from the Health Protection Surveillance Centre shows the country's 14-day incidence rate has risen to nearly 146 per 100,000 people.

Donegal's is 446 - after 710 cases in the space of two weeks.

Sligo is the next highest, with an incidence rate of 223 - while Louth and Limerick also have rates of above 200.
