View email online | | | | | Dec 29, 2020 | | | | | | Good afternoon, Welcome to your daily coronavirus news bulletin from the News Letter. I hope you find it informative. Today's total of 1,566 new cases of coronavirus is the highest ever recorded in Northern Ireland. Another 14 Covid-related deaths have also sadly been confirmed. This massive increase speaks for itself and is a sobering reminder that the virus is very much in our midst. Today's statistics come as Patricia McKeown, regional secretary of trade union Unison, said "all of the unions involved in education" are calling for schools to remain shut. Thanks for reading and stay safe. Valerie Martin, Head of Content. * Thank you for your support for our journalism this year.
