Two more coronavirus-linked deaths have been reported in Northern Ireland, taking the total recorded by the Department of Health to 541.
There were three new confirmed cases of Covid-19, bringing the total to 4,841 since the pandemic began. From today people living alone in Northern Ireland are able to reunite with their families after three months of coronavirus lockdown.
They will be able to meet with one other household to combat loneliness caused by the social-distancing restrictions, First Minister Arlene Foster said.
It means an isolated grandparent will be able to see and hug their grandchildren again, and partners separated by the pandemic since March can meet up without needing to observe a two-metre distance.
