The number of cases of Covid-19 has halved in most local electoral areas in Waterford in recent weeks.
The incidence rate in all parts of Waterford is now lower than the national average.
Waterford City South had the highest number of cases during the two weeks from the 23rd of February to the 8th of March.
There were 35 cases there during that time down from 70 a week ago to give an incidence of 155.9 per 100,000 people.
Dungarvan was the only other area that had a rate above 100. It was 102.5 after 21 cases were confirmed during that time. However, it's down 56 per cent from last week.
There were 19 cases in Tramore to give an incidence rate of 84.9.
In Waterford City East there was a 60 per cent drop in cases from 23 to 9 to give an incidence rate of 39.2.
The number of cases in Portlaw/Kilmacthomas also fell by 60 per cent. There were 8 cases confirmed from the 23rd of February to the 8th of March to give an incidence rate of 46.7 per 100,000 people.
Lismore was one of only two areas in the country that had fewer than five cases during that time.
When these figures were recorded on Monday, the national rate was just over 161 cases per 100,000 people.
The Central Statistics Office has also released a time-series showing the incidence of Covid-19 across the country since March of last year.
