Northern Ireland's coronavirus death toll is around a third higher than previously reported, official statisticians confirmed.

A total of 157 fatalities involving Covid-19 have been recorded on death certificates up to April 10, the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (Nisra) said.

That represents an increase of 39. More than two thirds, 109, happened in hospital. Another 41 occurred in care homes and hospices, around a quarter.

Those involved 23 separate establishments. The remaining seven happened at people's own homes. The Public Health Agency (PHA) in Northern Ireland had previously reported 118 deaths involving the infection up to 10 April because of differences in how the statistics are gathered.
