New figures released by the Department of Health show that the numbers of Covid-19 cases are continuing to fall in Waterford City.
However, there has been an increase in Dungarvan.
This is the fourth week that the breakdown of Covid-19 cases by local electoral area (LEA) is available, this week is the first time that Dungarvan has been included - there were fewer than five cases in previous releases. For confidentiality reasons, LEA's with cases over the reporting period of between 0-4 have been suppressed to 'less than 5 cases'.
In the two weeks from the 22nd of September to the 5th of October, there were 9 cases in the Dungarvan area. That gives an incidence rate of 43.9 per 100,000 population.
