The UK Covid-19 opens in Belfast today where it will hear several weeks of testimony. It will look at decision making in Northern Ireland during the pandemic and how it contributed to the handling of the crisis.

Among those due to give evidence are representatives of bereaved families, health professionals, current and former senior civil servants, and Stormont politicians.

The inquiry is likely to examine tensions between the parties who made up the Stormont Executive at the time and whether it fed into Covid decision making.

The inquiry will sit for three weeks in Northern Ireland. Among the areas it will cover are the Stormont government's response to the emerging crisis.
