Coronavirus (Covid-19) Infection Survey, Northern Ireland: Weekly Report
The Department of Health today published the next in the series of weekly results from its COVID-19 Infection Survey (CIS). The findings set out in this report relate to modelled positivity estimates for NI for the week up to the 15th January 2022.
