“I understand that people really want to know more detailed information about this virus, how it is affecting their communities and those across the country,” said the minister.
He added that there is a “real desire” for transparency around the virus and its impact.
“Transparency is a fundamental pillar of Ireland’s response to this pandemic. At this crucial time, it is more important than ever,” he said.
The Health Department worked with the Health Protection Surveillance Center and the Health Services Executive to produce the center, the minister explained.
Ordnance Survey Ireland, the All-Island Research Observatory and the Central Statistical Office also participated.
The latest 14-day Covid incidence rate per 100,000 inhabitants according to the LEA shows:
Blanchardstown / Mulhuddart has 189.8 cases
Central Tallaght 175.9
Southwest City Center 163
Balbriggan 150.4
Ballymun / Finglas 140
South Tallaght 138.2
Ongar 128.4
Castleknock 123.6
Southeast City Center 118.2
Kimmage / Rathmines 116.4
Ballyfermot / Drimnagh 115
Swords 111
The remaining LEAs have fewer than 100 cases per 100,000 population.
There are 166 LEAs in Ireland with an average population of 28,700 (between 9,800 and 63,000).
Each county and city is divided into several LEAs. The center now reports at the larger LEA level, rather than the Electoral Division (ED) level, allowing data to be reported for the most recent 14-day period, a key indicator of the current state of Covid-19. .
