One more coronavirus-related death and 402 new Covid-19 cases have been reported in the State. Nphet said that 79 per cent of the cases notified on Sunday were in people under 45 years of age. He said this revised plan would be based on supply lines for vaccines and the age groups to be vaccinated. On Sunday, Northern Ireland’s Department of Health reported one further death of a Covid-19 patient and 69 new cases of the virus. “However B117 is between 40 per cent and 90 per cent more transmissible” and that makes a huge difference, he said.
