Dr. Brendan O'Shea says "this is no time for catastrophizing"
Kildare has replaced Donegal with the highest incidence rate of Covid 19.
The county has 251 cases per 100,000 people while Donegal has 240.
We’re in a new phase of the Pandemic.

The Donegal incidence rate has fallen by 21 percent in the last seven days.
Kildare's incidence rate is almost twice the state's figure
Newbridge GP, and Communications Lead for Kildare Faculty of the ICGP, Dr. Brendan O’Shea, says people in the county need to be vigilant, but should "keep calm and carry on"
