Good afternoon

This is your Coronavirus and general news update from the News Letter

In Coronavirus news:
* Another seven people have died after testing positive for Covid-19, the Department of Health has revealed.

* The Department of Health has announced a number of changes to international travel, including the recognition of additional vaccines for the fully vaccinated policy and confirmation that under 18s will be treated as fully vaccinated.

* Covid NI: Postcodes with the highest number of positive Covid cases in Northern Ireland in the first week of November

In other news:

* Two children escaped injury after a shot was fired at their home last night.

* One man has been arrested after an incident in the early hours of today in Carnlough, Co Antrim, which resulted in injuries to five officers.

And something a little bit different:

* Londonderry man Robert Kincaid could be accused of ‘milking it’ having spent the past half century in the same profession.

* A 95-year-old World War 11 veteran, described as Northern Ireland’s own ‘Captain Tom’, has just completed an amazing 180km cycle, raising thousands of pounds for a charity created in memory of his granddaughter.

* It’s refreshing in both senses of the word that a Co Antrim company that started selling soft drinks in 1949 is still going strong.
