Tuesday was a landmark day in the battle with coronavirus in Northern Ireland.
For the first time in more than two months, not a single death relating to Covid-19 was recorded in the Province. That’s a statistic that offers much hope and reassurance to the wider public, although it does not mean that the battle with the virus is won and we must not be complacent as the sun continues to shine.
In more good news about the battle against Covid-19, Health Minister Robin Swann revealed that the anti-viral drug Remdesvir is to be made available to patients in Northern Ireland. International studies show the drug can shorten recovery time from Covid-19 by about four days.
Bit by bit normality is returning to life, with Easyjet announcing a further expansion of its flights out of Northern Ireland in June.
