THERE were nine new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the Tralee Local Electoral Area in the 14 day period up to Monday, July 12, according to figures available on the Government’s COVID-19 data hub.

With a 14-day incidence rate of 27.2 per 100,000 of the population, this was the lowest of all the LEA areas in the 26 counties in that period, where the virus is not suppressed. Three LEAs elsewhere in Ireland had zero cases in the fortnight.

However, the rates of incidence have increased in the traditionally strong tourism areas of Kerry over the same period.
