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

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

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

The dashboard also reports a further 75 positive cases of Covid-19, bringing the total number of positive cases to 122,507 since the start of the pandemic.

Over the past seven days, the Department said 518 individuals have tested positive in Northern Ireland.

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

Meanwhile, Stormont ministers have agreed yesterday to scrap self-isolation guidance for travel within the UK and Ireland.

Deputy First Minister Michelle O’Neill described progress having been made over movement within the Common Travel Area during Thursday’s meeting of the Executive.

“We’re going to drop the self isolation, so you’ll no longer have to self isolate when travelling across these islands,” she told media in Coalisland.

“We’re obviously still encouraging common sense, we’re encouraging people to only travel if you need to, and we would also want people to not travel if they have any symptoms, and we’ll also ask people to take lateral flow tests.

“That will allow a bit more travel across the common travel area.”
