Police respond to reports of large crowds at local beauty spots

Police say they have received reports of large numbers of people visiting local beauty spots, beaches and parks across Northern Ireland today.

In a statement they say they're encouraging the public to refrain from travelling if it is not necessary.

A PSNI spokesperson said: "We would like to remind everyone of the advice from our public health partners and Northern Ireland Executive about social distancing and movement.

"We would encourage people not to travel to popular beaches or beauty spots for your daily exercise if it is not necessary, as social distancing may not be achievable where large crowds are gathered.

"Please help us by staying at home as much as possible so that we can be sure our roads, streets, villages, towns and cities are safe for everyone and so that we can all maintain a safe social distance.

"Each of us can play our part to help prevent the spread of Covid-19, protect the NHS and save lives and it is important we continue to adhere to Northern Ireland Executive regulations."
