Northern Ireland grappling with highest Covid infection rate in UK

There are now more people than ever getting tested for Covid-19 in Northern Ireland.

The rate there is still high - almost 500 cases per 100,000 population - just not as bad as the other 10 council areas in Northern Ireland.People under the age of 20 accounted for 41% of infections over the past week, with the 10-to-14 group having a disproportionately high infection rate. Over the course of those four weeks every post-primary school in Northern Ireland had at least one positive case of Covid-19.

On a longer - and much more steady - basis there have been between 400 and 500 Covid-positive patients in our hospitals every day since the second week in August.
