During the fortnight up to April 19th, 16 LEAs across the country had fewer than five cases each, with two of those being in Kerry: Corca Dhuibhne and Kenmare.
Killarney LEA had the greatest number of cases in Kerry with 24 over the two-week period, giving it a 14-day incidence rate of 81 per 100,000 population.
Tralee LEA had 16 cases, giving a rate of 48, the Castleisland area had seven cases and a rate of 40, while the North Kerry area had six cases over the fortnight, giving a rate of 21.
For comparison, the national 14-day incidence rate over the past two weeks was 130 per 100,000.
