Concerns are rising over the spread of the virus in Northern Ireland, with 204 new cases confirmed in the past week.
NI Health Minister Robin Swann warned yesterday: “I am concerned about the rise in positive cases in recent days. We now have an average of over 27 new positive cases per day compared to approximately three per day a few short weeks ago.
“It is very concerning that nine people have been admitted to hospital with COVID-19, two of which are currently in ICU. This highlights the continuing threat from COVID-19 and we must all do everything within our power to tackle this.”
