Cork had the second-highest number of Covid-19 cases after Dublin over the past fortnight, placing it among a number of counties likely to face further restrictions this week.

New figures published by the Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC) show that 337 new cases of Covid-19 were detected in Cork in the past two weeks — ranking the county second after Dublin (2,060) and ahead of Donegal (295) for the number of new infections between September 13 and September 26.
