THE Department of Health has announced one more Covid-19-related death in the North of Ireland in the past 24 hours.

Deaths are measured by recording those who died within 28 days of receiving a positive result in a test for Coronavirus.

The total number of deaths linked to Covid-19 in North of Ireland since the start of the pandemic is now 2,980.

None of the latest deaths were recorded in the Derry City and Strabane Council area with its death toll from the virus (mostly in hospitals) still at 189.

Friday’s data from the Department of Health shows there has been a further 7,215 positive cases of Coronavirus in the North of Ireland, a rise of 2,514 cases on figures given on Thursday.

This is the highest recorded daily reported figure since the start of the pandemic last year.

It includes cases confirmed from samples taken in previous days, not necessarily just in the latest 24-hour reporting period.

As of Friday, the number of positive cases confirmed in the past seven days was 35,107.

The statistics show that in the past 24 hours there has been a further 1,123 Covid-19 cases in the Derry City and Strabane District Council area.

That’s a rise of 532 cases on figures given yesterday.

Over the past seven days, there were 4,469 cases recorded in the Derry and Strabane Council area.

There are currently 313 patients with Covid-19 in hospital here.

There are 34 patients with Covid-19 being treated in intensive care units, with 24 people on ventilators.

There are 28 people being treated in Altnagelvin Hospital with Coronavirus with six people in intensive care.

The figures show that 8.09 per cent of beds in Altnagelvin are occupied by people with Coronavirus.

The Department of Health reports that 112 care homes in the North of Ireland are dealing with an outbreak of Coronavirus, with 1,034 closed cases of Covid-19 in care homes here.

A total of 3,516,996 vaccines for Covid-19 have now been administered across the North of Ireland.
