Ireland now has the seventh highest rate of daily Covid-19 cases in the world.
We now have a seven-day rolling average of 4,020 cases – far above the European Union average of 1,520.
The figures were released by Our World In Data’s tracking of daily new confirmed cases per million people
Ireland is beaten only by six microstates and small island nations.
Despite the EU nations of France and Italy recording in excess of 200,000 new daily cases, their larger populations mean their rate of new Covid cases per million people is 3,060 and 2,350 respectively.
The only locations to top Ireland in the table are Aruba, the Isle of Man, Cyprus, Curacao, Andorra and San Marino – all small island nations or microstates.
