Another 11 deaths brings Covid toll to 376 in North

Another 11 people have died from Covid-19 in the North.

It takes the total number of deaths recorded so far by the Department of Health there to 376.

It comes as UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock said he could see the case that could be made for Northern Ireland moving at a different pace than the rest of the UK, given the virus has not impacted there as severely.

He said the relationship with the Republic of Ireland was “important”, though he highlighted that the shape of the virus curve – its decrease and fall – had broadly been the same across the UK.
