Three satellite contact-tracing sites have been set up in Northern Ireland. The sites located in Belfast, Armagh and Derry have been set up by the Public Health Agency to bolster the main Covid-19 contact tracing service centre in County Hall, Ballymena.
Chief medical officer Michael McBride visited the Belfast site this morning and met many of the contact tracers and duty officers who have been working to help keep the public safe during the current pandemic.
Mr McBride said the additional sites are "another positive step in our ongoing fight against the Covid-19 pandemic". "Let me again pay tribute to the essential and valuable work that our PHA colleagues and our health and social care staff continue to provide across Northern Ireland,"
