612 patients being treated for Covid-19 in Northern Ireland, Department of Health reveal

The figures, updated at 2pm on Sunday, show that 2,307 patients treated for the illness in hospitals have been discharged.

There have been 194 deaths reported in Northern Ireland.

But this figure could rise when non-hospital deaths are taken into account.

At the weekend, the department introduced an online dashboard which will be updated daily, featuring information on hospital admissions and discharges, bed occupancy and a breakdown of case and death numbers by age and gender.
