Further six coronavirus-related deaths in NI
A further six people diagnosed with Covid-19 have died in Northern Ireland.
The Public Health Agency said it brings the total number of deaths here to 124.
Testing has also resulted in a further 76 confirmed cases of Covid-19, bringing the total number of cases to 1,882.
In the Republic of Ireland, a further 31 deaths were confirmed on Monday bringing the total there to 365.
Meanwhile, GPs in Northern Ireland have written to the Department of Health warning they may be forced to withdraw services if more personal protective equipment is not provided.
Masks and aprons in particular are in short supply.
Dr George O'Neill from the West Belfast GP Federation said: "Good practice would be that the patient gets a face mask, the nurse gets a face mask, plus eye protection, plus gloves, plus apron.
"In some cases this was not being delivered, and therefore the services had to be restricted because of that.
"Those services will be withheld until we get the proper equipment.
"Lots of especially young GPs are scared, they're anxious about their families, themselves, about their relatives and indeed about their patients, and we need to make sure we keep the morale up among the workforce because this is really going to run and run."
Health officials have said they are confident enough supplies exist for now. A large order was delivered from Great Britain last week for distribution.
In a statement, Health Minister Robin Swann said the protection and health and safety of front line staff is "an absolute priority".
He went on: "I know our GPs are working hard for all of us and that they are still delivering critical services to the community, despite the unprecedented challenges they face.
"That is why we are working hard to ensure that vital supplies of PPE are maintained.
"GPs continue to order and obtain PPE under the agreed processes.
"It is also why the Primary Care Covid-19 Centres have been established in every trust, to preserve essential Primary care services by reducing the pressure on general practice."
The minister continued: “We are working hard to build up our PPE stockpiles for the expected second surge later in the year and recently took receipt of 5.5 million items following an announcement by Health Secretary Matt Hancock.
"Local companies are also playing a key role in helping protect our frontline workers in the fight against Covid-19.
"Over 300 local businesses have so far offered to help produce PPE equipment with orders having been placed for 75 million items of PPE.”
