THE Department of Health has announced a further 1,550 Coronavirus cases in the North of Ireland in the last 24 hours.

That’s a fall of 221 cases on figures given yesterday for Tuesday.

There has been four further deaths from the virus in the past 24 hours with the death toll, mostly in hospitals across the North, now at 2,332.

In the past week, the Department has recorded 11,642 new cases of Coronavirus.

Over the past seven days there have been a further 1,436 COVID-19 cases in the Derry and Strabane area.

This means that since the pandemic started in March there have now been 20,936 positive cases within the council boundary – the third highest among all 11 councils in the North.

The rate of infection within the Derry and Strabane Council area has risen to 949.2 cases per 100,000, still the second highest of all 11 council districts in the North of Ireland.

The Department has now recorded a total of 153 Coronavirus deaths within the Derry and Strabane council area to date – the third lowest out of all councils here.

Bed occupancy across all hospitals is now at 103 per cent.

There are currently 376 patients in hospitals across the North with Coronavirus.

There are 41 patients being treated in intensive care with 26 patients on ventilators.

The Western Trust reports that 13.93 per cent of beds in Altnagelvin Hospital are COVID-19 occupied with staff treating 40 patients with Coronavirus.

Six of those patients are currently being treated in Altnagelvin’s ICU for COVID-19 – that’s two thirds of its ICU beds treating patients with the deadly virus.

A total of 126 care homes are now dealing with a Coronavirus outbreak with a further 726 concluded Coronavirus outbreaks in care homes.
