With every county bordering Northern Ireland now having a 14-day Covid-19 incidence rate of more than 100 calls have been made for greater protection to be afforded to border counties such as Donegal and Leitrim to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan have the three highest 14-day incidence rates in the country, while Leitrim and Louth have a rate of more than 100.
Caoirthleacht of the Manorhamilton Municipal District of Leitrim County Council is Sean McDermott he says ‘careful consideration’ has to be given to health and local economy issues.
