A Clare GP has identified a strong reduction in the number of patients presenting with COVID-19 symptoms, but is warning that doctors’ surgeries are still busier than ever.

5 new cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in Clare last night, with this county’s incidence rate now standing at 187.7 – its lowest since mid-September.

It’s below the national average of 212.7, which also continues to fall.
