THE Department of Health has reported two further Covid-19-related deaths over the past 24 hours in the North of Ireland.

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

The DoH records that these two these deaths happened outside the current reporting period.

The total number of deaths linked to Covid-19 in the North of Ireland recorded by the Department of Health since the start of the pandemic is at 3,369.

Sadly, one of these latest deaths was recorded in the Derry City and Strabane District Council area.

Today’s data from the Department of Health shows there has been a further 927 positive cases of Coronavirus in the North of Ireland, a rise of 295 on figures given yesterday for Sunday.

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

The statistics show that in the past 24 hours there has been a further 67 Covid-19 cases in the Derry City and Strabane District Council area, a rise of 20 on figures given yesterday for Sunday.

Over the past seven days, there were 383 recorded cases in the Derry and Strabane Council area.

There are currently 440 patients with Covid-19 in hospitals here.

There are three patients with Covid-19 being treated in intensive care units with one person on a ventilator.

There are 38 people being treated in Altnagelvin Hospital with Coronavirus and no persons with Covid-19 are in intensive care.

The figures show that 11.85 per cent of beds in Altnagelvin Hospital are occupied by people with Coronavirus and it is running at 8.09 per cent over capacity for beds.

The Department of Health reports that 133 care homes in the North of Ireland are dealing with an outbreak of Coronavirus, with 1,434 closed cases of Covid-19 in care homes here.

In the Western Trust area, 33 of its 67 care homes are dealing with a Coronavirus outbreak.

A total of 3,768,325 vaccines have been administered to date across the North of Ireland as of Tuesday.

Of those figures, more than one million booster and third dose vaccinations have now been administered in the North of Ireland to date.
