Coronavirus: Six more COVID-19 deaths recorded in NI - 31% of all deaths occurred in Belfast City Council area

Five of the deaths occurred in the last 24 hours whereas the remaining one occurred outside of that time frame.

The total number of deaths in Northern Ireland according to the Department of Health (DoH) now stands at 387 however it's fair to surmise it is much greater as the daily statistics do not include in deaths in care homes and in the community.

Of 387 deaths across Northern Ireland, 120 (31 per cent) occurred in the Belfast City Council area.

The local government district with the fewest number of deaths is Fermanagh and Omagh District Council with ten.

The total number of people to die in the United Kingdom after testing positive for COVID-19 now stands at 28,446.
