People in Clare who tested positive for COVID-19 last week reported the lowest number of close contacts of any county in Ireland.
In a sign that many people here are complying with public health advice, new CSO figures show that the 22 people here who contracted the virus last week reported an average of only 2.4 close contacts – the national average was 3.6.
The overall number of cases here has remained broadly static, and there were no COVID-related deaths registered here in the two weeks to last Friday.

Seperate figures published by health authorities last evening showed Ennis has the highest rate of the virus in Clare, but even here the rates are far less than the national average.
