As of last Monday, the national Covid-19 infection rate stood at 98.9 cases per 100,000 population and has risen since then, as fears mount over the threat posed by the more infectious Delta variant that is now in circulation. File picture: Stephen Collins/Collins Photos

Buncrana in Donegal and Dungarvan in Waterford have the highest Covid infection rates in the country, at six times the national average. 

That is according to the latest Local Electoral Area (LEA) data published today, which details Covid infections rates across 166 LEA areas as of June 28.
