Stormont ministers have been warned to “get a grip of themselves” amid party political wrangling over curbing the spread of Covid-19. “Our ministers really need to get a grip of themselves, they need to start working as one,” he told BBC NI’s Sunday Politics. What they need to stop doing is sniping at each other and trying to politically point score each other. The measures were agreed amid concerns about hospital capacity in the North and warnings that the Covid-19 situation could deteriorate further still. A further 342 cases of the virus were confirmed on Sunday, taking the total number of confirmed cases in the North to 49,784.
