| Good evening, Welcome to the first coronavirus bulletin of 2021 from the team at the News Letter. This time last year we couldn't have predicted that we would be dedicating a daily newsletter like this to a round-up of news on a global pandemic and how it affects each one of us. To everyone who receives this newsletter each evening we want to thank you for choosing to do so and we hope you find it informative. Our team of experienced journalists will continue to provide accurate, fact-checked articles on coronavirus in 2021 - reporting on how the pandemic reaches us all in some way. We will bring the practical information you need to face times of uncertainty and disruption but we will also bring you stories of hope, compassion, scientific advancement, ingenuity and resilience. There are no new coronavirus statistics today from the Department of Health. Stay safe. Valerie Martin, Head of Content. * Why not start off the New Year with a digital subscription to have unlimited access to the work of our top journalists, thought-provoking columnists and exclusive content from as little as £1 a month?
