A total of 346 people were in hospital on Monday with recently confirmed Covid-19, up eight in 24 hours, with 32 patients in intensive care, up two.

"Vital that everyone gets vaccine - & that we all stay outdoors as much as possible and continue to follow advice on distancing, face masks, hygiene etc".
