12 are in Carlow but the county’s 14-day incidence rate has seen it drop down the table in recent days. After a considerable length of time in the country’s higher five counties, it’s now placed fifteenth with its figure of 233.6 per 100,000 below the national one of 250.2.
Kilkenny’s at 95.7 is the second-lowest after ten new positive tests were returned.
