Another 172 positive cases of the virus in the previous 24-hour period were also notified by the Department of Health on Saturday. The latest Covid-19 figures came ahead of the return of some pupils to school for the first time since the latest lockdown started in December. The Department of Health #COVID19 dashboard has been updated. The Stormont Executive published its blueprint for exiting lockdown restrictions last week. Deputy First Minister Michelle O’Neill has said ministers hope the process of exiting lockdown will be well advanced by June 10th.
