1,360 Mayo people have tested positive for Covid-19 to date, HSE reveals

The total number of Mayo people who tested positive for Covid-19 up to November 13 was 1,360.

The figure was revealed at yesterday's meeting of the HSE West Forum to Councillor Michael Kilcoyne.

A statement issued by the authority outlined: "Public Health West are notified of positives but we have no oversight of all results for persons from Mayo.

"Thus we cannot give an accurate estimate regarding numbers negative and inconclusive.

"This is because not all persons from Mayo are tested by sources public health get non-positive results from.

"Some may have been tested in Sligo, Letterkenny or Mayo University Hospital or if admitted to non-HSE West hospitals for surgery.

"Some may have been working in non-HSE West facilities and screened through workplace."
