| Good afternoon, Welcome to today's Coronavirus update from the News Letter team. "This is the worst week in the NHS probably in living memory and the concern is that next week will be worse." No one could fail to be concerned at the words of Dr Tom Black, chairman of the British Medical Association's Northern Ireland Council. His warning comes as we sadly report today that another 13 people in Northern Ireland who had tested positive for Covid-19 have died in the past 24 hours. Our sincere condolences are extended to all the families affected. A further 722 people have tested positive over the same period of time. The figures - along with an increasing demand for space in our hospitals - are a stark reminder of just how serious every single one of us must take the spread of the virus and do everything we can to help curb it by following the health guidelines. Thanks for reading and stay safe.
