There have been 1,179 new confirmed cases of Covid-19. The latest figures from the Department of Health show that 22 people are in intensive care units, with 91 people hospitalised. He urged: “Stay away from crowds, don’t meet up indoors, choose outdoors, where possible: wear masks. In particular if you see a crowded situation indoors, walk away, you don’t have to go in. Either contact your GP for a test, or arrange a test through a testing centre and follow the public health advice that may follow from that test.”
