Another 11 deaths due to COVID-19

Another 11 people in Northern Ireland have died as a result of COVID-19, the Public Health Agency has said.

The death toll is now 118.


As of today (Sunday), 89 more cases of the novel coronavirus have been confirmed.

The total number of confirmed cases in the province is 1,806.

Families across Northern Ireland are spending Easter Sunday at home on what is usually one of the busiest weekends of the year.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister Boris Johnson has just left hospital.

Everyone should do what they can to stop coronavirus spreading. The best way to do this is to stay at home:

  • only go outside for food, health reasons, work (but only if you cannot work from home) or one form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle – alone or with members of your household;
  • if you go out, stay 2 metres (6ft) away from other people at all times;
  • avoid non-essential use of public transport, varying your travel times to avoid rush hour, when possible;
  • do not meet with friends and family – keep in touch using remote technology such as phone, internet, and social media;
  • use telephone or online services to contact your GP or other essential services;
  • wash your hands well and often, and avoid touching your face.
