Donegal, Louth and Limerick continue to fight the rising rates of Covid-19 despite the nearly six-week lockdown.
Both Donegal and Louth still have incidence rates per 100,000 people over 200, while Limerick is now 188.
Many counties were originally moved to Level Three after approaching the 200 mark, and health experts, as well as the government, are likely to keep a close eye on the three outliers.
In the most recent figures, Donegal recorded only 16 cases and their incidence continues to decline; however, it is still the highest in the country with 222.4.
Louth comes next with a rate of 208.7 after another 20 cases were recorded in the latest data from the Health Department on Wednesday.
And Limerick, which had seen a big improvement, soared with 25 more cases on Wednesday with its rate now 188.8.
Waterford, Roscommon, Dublin, Meath, Westmeath, Offaly, Longford, Monaghan and Kilkenny all have rates of more than 100 in the last two weeks, but remain below 150.
Wexford remains the star performer with zero cases Wednesday and a rate of 34.7, the lowest in the country.
NPHET met on Wednesday where high rates in Donegal, Louth and Limerick were expected to be one of the key talking points.
The cabinet subcommittee will meet today on the NPHET findings before a full cabinet meeting on Friday, when the public will learn of key decisions.
