The Health Minister has posted an IGTV this morning encouraging us to look out for each other while keeping our physical distance.

Another 126 people tested positive for coronavirus here yesterday, bringing the total to 683.

In a message on Instagram, Health Minister Simon Harris urged people to keep their distance with friends and family.

"People are feeling great stress, great worry and perhaps loneliness.

"It's really important if we're to get through this difficult time as a country that we do everything we can to support each other, and quite frankly to be kind to each other.

"So this Saturday morning as you're perhaps considering what we're going to do with your day, can I suggest we all do a couple of things.

"Pick up the phone and ring a relative: ring your mom, your dad, your granny, your grandad.

"Just because you can't be physically close to each other doesn't mean we can't keep in touch".
