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, according to new figures.

Eoghan Murphy reports:

"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 by far the country's highest, at 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.

Five counties have rates of less than 70 cases per 100,000 people - Longford, Carlow, Cork, Kilkenny and Tipperary.

Tipperary's is the lowest, at 54."
