Daily Covid case stats delayed due to issue on Government website

The stats, which are usually released at around 4pm each day, have been delayed this evening.

The data breaks down the number of cases, deaths and vaccinations on a national and local level.

We have been bringing you this information each day since the statistics were published at the start of the pandemic last year.

But according to a message on the Government website for coronavirus figures, the data will be delayed tonight.

"Owing to an issue with the processing of cases data, the update for 3 March 2021 is delayed," the site states.

We will publish the stats as soon as they become available.
