BBC News NI outlines the latest data on coronavirus and Covid-19 vaccinations across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

There has been two more coronavirus-related deaths recorded in Northern Ireland within the latest 24-hour reporting period.

Deaths are measured by recording those who died within 28 days of receiving a positive Covid-19 test.

The total number of deaths linked to Covid-19 in Northern Ireland since the start of the pandemic stands at 2,170.

Another 1,264 positive cases have been reported by the department on Sunday, down from 1,520 on Saturday. This includes samples taken in recent days, not necessarily in the last 24 hours.

A total of 148,484 people in Northern Ireland have had a confirmed diagnosis of the virus since the pandemic began.

Since May, the Department of Health has not been updating its Covid-19 statistics dashboard at weekends, so there are no current figures for the number of patients being treated in hospitals.

On Friday, there were 163 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Covid-19 in Northern Ireland's hospitals.

This compared to 162 inpatients on Thursday.

There were 16 patients with Covid-19 in intensive care units, eight of whom were on ventilators.
