Four more deaths as a result of COVID-19

A further four people have died in Northern Ireland as a result of contracting COVID-19.

It brings the death total as reported by the Department of Health to 430.


A death announced on Friday has been removed from the figures. This is due to the death not occurring within 28 days of a lab test coming back as positive.

A further 56 people tested positive for the virus.

The police are urging people to continue to stay at home and to not congregate in large numbers over the Bank Holiday weekend.

Some street parties to mark VE Day were criticised on social media for lack of social distancing.

Another 346 people have died in the UK after testing positive for COVID-19, bringing the total to 31,587.

We all have our part to play during #COVID19. Only leave home when it is necessary. Be responsible, use your common sense and #StayHomeSaveLives
