Of the 307 new cases reported nationally last evening, six were in Galway bringing the total number of confirmed cases in the county to 540.

This total of 28 in a four day period represents a major spike in Galway's cases, after months of stability where there was an average of 3 to 4 cases per week
This rises also comes as the Department of Public Health has alerted Galway GPs and schools to clusters in the area from Oranmore to Renmore
The department will not comment further on the nature of the clusters, other than to say they are linked to the geographical area of Oranmore village
