Coronavirus NI: Eighth day of no Covid-19 deaths being reported in NI

The Department of Health has today reported no further coronavirus related deaths for the eighth day in a row.

According to the latest update, the death toll from the DoH remains at 2,152.

Wednesday's dashboard also reports a further 66 positive cases of Covid-19, bringing the total number of positive cases to 122,348 since the start of the pandemic.

Over the past seven days, the Department said 540 individuals have tested positive in Northern Ireland.

There are currently 28 Covid-19 confirmed patients in hospital and two in intensive care.

Meanwhile, parking enforcement teams will be deployed at pre lockdown levels from Tuesday, June 1.

In response to the latest Covid-19 lockdown, parking enforcement was scaled back in line with road usage from the end of January 2021.

A small team of Traffic Attendants (TAs) were retained to be deployed to some locations.

Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) for all on-street parking and bus lane offences will recommence from June 1.

Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon said: "It is important for economic recovery that we all support local businesses at this time and as Minister for Infrastructure I want to ensure that vehicles are parked safely and considerately, and that there is a turnover of parking spaces in our town and city centres.

"I know that this may not be popular for some, but I have carefully considered the needs of all those using our roads before making my decision."
