In a big blow for the agriculture industry here, the organisers of the Balmoral Show confirmed it will not take place at all in 2020. The organisers had originally put the planned date of the show back to August from the scheduled date of May, but they have now conceded that August will also not be a feasible time.
Stormont is taking steps to try and prevent a worsening situation at one of the most affected parts of Northern Ireland from coronavirus – our care homes.
Health Minister Robin Swann announced yesterday that care homes here are to receive a £6.5 million funding boost. In addition he unveiled a further expansion of testing and the publication of updated guidance for care homes aimed at strengthening infection prevention and control and protecting home residents.
