Dr McBride said:"We have undoubtedly made important strides forward and the people of Northern Ireland deserve great praise for the sacrifices they have made in our response to this virus."I urge everyone to keep doing the right thing in terms of hand hygiene and social distancing. Please stay safe and save lives."At the end of each working week, Nisra releases data on the number of deaths in Northern Ireland where Covid-19 was mentioned on the death certificate.
