Mr Donnelly said the manner of Ireland’s exit from Level Five will 'depend on what the situation is'
Stephen Donnelly today warned Ireland could exit Level Five restrictions on a region-by-region basis.
“They look at the level of cases, the rate of growth of cases, the positivity rates, the R number and also they look at it county by county and region by region.”Co Tipperary, for instance, has the lowest 14-day incidence rate of any county in the country, with a rate of 116.6. Wicklow is Ireland’s next-best county in terms of its 14-day incidence rate, with 121.5 cases per 100,000.
Cavan, which yesterday passed 1,000 cases per 100,000 over the last fortnight, is the country’s worst-affected county when it comes to the transmission of Covid-19.
