HEALTH minister Robin Swann has warned that it is “inevitable” that Strabane will face additional Covid19 restrictions as cases continue to rise.
Earlier today, a further 424 cases were announced across the North – 139 of which were in the Derry and Strabane council area.
One new Covid-19 related death was reported, bringing the Department of Health’s total to 579.
Speaking at Stormont’s executive press briefing today (Wednesday), Mr Swann said it was “inevitable” that additional restrictions will need to be introduced in the Derry and Strabane Council area.
An executive meeting is to be held tomorrow (Thursday) and Mr Mr Swann said he did not want to pre-empt anything ahead of the meeting but added it was “inconceivable” for ministers not to take action.
