The latest spike in Covid-19 has hit Donegal and Louth harder than most, with the two counties containing seven of the top 10 areas nationally when it comes to cases.

One area each in Galway, Dublin, and Meath join the seven from Donegal and Louth as the areas with the highest number of cases per 100,000 people, with Munster escaping the worst hit this time around.
