Six areas are in the best position to leave the blockade while successfully suppressing the virus.
One of the key statistics that health officials use to determine the size of an outbreak in a region is the incidence rate of confirmed cases per 100,000 population.
And Cavan remains the most affected region in the country by this metric with an incidence of 364.9, followed by Meath with 323.0.
Donegal was once the epicenter of the outbreak here, but has seen a reduction in the number of new cases, dropping to a rate of 286.4.
However, six counties appear to be in the best position to leave the lockdown on time on Dec. 1, as the rate remains very low.
Kilkenny, Tipperary, Wexford, Offaly, Wicklow, and Leitrim report an incidence of less than 150. This is well below the national average, which is currently 212.7.
