Covid-19: One more Covid-related death and 3,420 cases

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

Northern Ireland's Department of Health has reported one more Covid-19-related death on Tuesday.

The total number of deaths since the start of the pandemic now stands at 3,015.

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

The department also reported a further 3,420 coronavirus cases on Tuesday, up from the 2,706 cases reported on Monday.

The data includes cases confirmed from samples taken in previous days, not necessarily just in the latest reporting period.

Since 5 January, people in Northern Ireland who have a positive lateral flow test (LFT) no longer need a PCR test to confirm that result.

The Department of Health said it was "extremely important", though, that people report their LFT test result if positive.

On Tuesday, there were 440 patients with Covid-19 in hospitals in Northern Ireland, up from 387 on Monday.

There are 31 patients with Covid-19 in hospital intensive care units, the same figure as Monday.
