But two counties recorded no new cases for the third straight week.

The number of people who were diagnosed with Covid-19 in the Republic increased last week for the first time in ten weeks.

The CSO says 78 people were diagnosed with Covid-19 in the Republic last week - up from 69 the week before.

But several counties throughout the country continue to record very few cases.

Clare and Offaly had no new cases for the third week in a row.

For eight consecutive weeks, Clare, Leitrim, Longford, Tipperary and Wexford have recorded less than 10 new cases.

Donegal, Laois and Kerry have had less than 10 cases for nine weeks in a row, and Waterford for ten successive weeks.

Dublin continues to be worst affected county, accounting for 51 per cent of all Covid deaths.

Nationally, women account for most cases, along with all adults aged between 25 and 44.

Healthcare workers continue to make up a third of all cases.
