Galway Bay fm newsroom - New figures from the CSO show that 53 cases of Covid-19 in Galway last week were linked to outbreaks.
That's a major drop of almost 100 cases on the week previous, ending Friday February 12th.
There's been a generally downward trend since the middle of January, when outbreak-linked cases in Galway peaked at 231.
