NORTHERN IRELAND’S DEPARTMENT of Health has reported a further 493 confirmed cases of Covid-19 this afternoon.

In its latest Covid-19 update, the department has confirmed that eight more people have died, bringing the total number of deaths since the first outbreak of the virus in the North to 724. 

The total number of positive cases now stands at 39,609.
