Covid NI: No further deaths reported by DoH in past 24 hours

The Department of Health has reported no further coronavirus related deaths in the last 24 hours.

According to the latest update, the death toll in Northern Ireland now still stands at 2,107.

Wednesday's dashboard update also reports a further 139 positive cases of Covid-19, bringing the total number of positive cases to 116,332 since the start of the pandemic.

Over the past seven days, the Department says 1,014 individuals have tested positive in Northern Ireland.

There are currently 154 Covid-19 confirmed patients in hospital and 14 in intensive care.

Meanwhile, people from Northern Ireland can now book their Covid-19 vaccine at the SSE Arena ahead of its opening on March 29.

The SSE Arena will be a regional vaccination centre working alongside Trust centres and GP practices.

Community Pharmacists will also join the vaccination programme next week, bringing vaccinations to many local high streets.

Head of the Vaccination Programme, Patricia Donnelly, said: “Today we see another significant step forward in the Northern Ireland vaccination programme. The SSE Arena will enable us to vaccinate a minimum of 4,000 per day building up to 8,000 and I urge anyone who is eligible to book their slot.”

Ms Donnelly is also urging the public to check they are eligible before booking or they will be turned away at the vaccination centre.
