Covid-19: Single daily death follows March mini-spike
The department’s running chart of deaths shows that in the 24-hour period prior to today, there were no deaths at all in the Province linked to coronavirus – for the first time since October 10 last year.
The overall trend is positive; numbers of fatalities remain way down compared with the Province’s peak of 29 deaths in one day, recorded on January 17.

Meanwhile the vaccine program continues apace, with 684,097 vaccines issued (629,461 first doses, 54,636 second ones).
