Covid-19: NI records one further deaths and 3,932 cases

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

One Covid-19-related death has been reported in Northern Ireland on Monday.

The total number of deaths linked to Covid-19 in Northern Ireland since the start of the pandemic remains at 3,072 as the Department of Health said one death previously reported as related to Covid had been removed from the total.

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

Another 3,932 cases of coronavirus were reported in Northern Ireland on Monday, up from 3,059 cases on Sunday.

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

The Department of Health does not publish data relating to Covid-19 patients in hospitals on weekends.

On Monday, there were 371 patients with Covid-19 in hospitals in Northern Ireland, down from 398 on Friday.
