Covid NI: No further coronavirus related deaths and fewer than 40 cases recorded by DoH

The Department of Health has today reported no further coronavirus related deaths.

Monday's update also reports a further 39 positive cases of Covid-19 in Northern Ireland.

The Department says 1,709,453 vaccines have now been administered in total here.

Meanwhile, army medics administered an estimated 100,000 doses of coronavirus vaccine in Northern Ireland, the Ministry of Defence has revealed.

Some 100 combat medical technicians (CMTs) worked at the vaccination centre at the SSE Arena in Belfast in recent months.

As the men and women prepared to leave at the weekend, Health Minister Robin Swann sent a video message of thanks for their work.

"You have been a welcome addition and provided much-needed relief and support at a time when our workforce faced huge challenges," he said.

"Before you leave I want to put on record our thanks and my thanks for your efforts in supporting Northern Ireland's response to Covid-19 and the help that you have supplied by doing what you have done, so thank you."
