Meanwhile, Robin Swann welcomed the announcement on Friday that a third vaccine will be available in here after being approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency.
The Moderna vaccine becomes third vaccine to receive approval and will be used as part of the country's fight against Covid in the coming months.
Mr Swann said: “This week has seen the grave pressures of Covid come to bear on our health service, so news of the approval of a third vaccine is very welcome. We still have a long journey ahead but the approval of another vaccine should serve as encouragement for everyone and help us get through the next number of weeks of lockdown."
