The latest figures follow new Covid-19 restrictions coming into force across Northern Ireland today. Pubs and restaurants closed last night for four weeks, with the exception of takeaways and deliveries. Schools will close on Monday for two weeks.

This brings the death toll there to 610 while the total number of positive cases now stands at 26,208.The latest figures follow new Covid-19 restrictions coming into force across Northern Ireland today.

The most severe level of restrictions, Tier 3, means people cannot socialise with anyone outside their household in any indoor and many outdoor settings. Pubs and bars must close unless they can operate as a restaurant. Areas in Tier 2 currently include London, Essex, Greater Manchester, Cheshire and West Yorkshire - with 25.2 million people affected by the restrictions.

"The numbers are actually pretty eye-watering in some bits of the country and I think it's going to be very hard to get on top of this just biting around the edges."If in the end we have to take kids out for two weeks, calm it all down, and then start ideally embedded in a much more rigorous testing regime then that's maybe what we may have to do."

Pubs and licensed restaurants in five health board areas - Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Lanarkshire, Ayrshire and Arran, Lothian, and Forth Valley - have been forced to close for all but takeaway service until 26 October.

They're even doing memes now. Slow they are and mildy smelling of mildew but they're trying to mount an offence, God love their little feet and tiny hands.

Churches open for services....Apart from the schools closed for 2 weeks and hairdressees and barbers closed.....Its our level 3....
