Covid-19: Six more Covid-linked deaths and 1,259 new cases

BBC News NI outlines the latest data on coronavirus and Covid-19 vaccinations across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Six further coronavirus-related deaths have been reported in Northern Ireland.

Deaths are measured by recording those who died within 28 days of receiving a positive result in a test for coronavirus.

The total number of deaths linked to Covid-19 in Northern Ireland since the start of the pandemic is 2,358.

Another 1,259 cases of coronavirus were reported on Monday, up from 1,225 on Sunday.

That includes cases confirmed from samples taken in recent days, not necessarily just in the latest 24-hour reporting period.

A total of 199,347 cases of the virus have been confirmed in Northern Ireland since the pandemic began.

Due to the Bank Holiday weekend, the Department of Health is not updating its dashboard again until Tuesday 31 August, meaning new figures are not available for the number of patients being treated in hospitals.

On Friday there were 383 patients with Covid-19 in hospitals, up from 376 on Thursday.

There were 45 patients with Covid-19 in hospital intensive care units, up from 41 on Thursday.
