Hospital overcrowding is at a record low for this time of year and has been for months. We have beds free in most hospitals most of the time. Please do not be afraid to go to hospital is you need to.

During the last lockdown many people with stroke, sepsis and heart attack symptoms delayed coming to hospital because they though the system was overwhelmed. It isn’t now and wasn’t then. Please do not delay seeking medical attention if you need it

For the past few weeks, the Government and our public services have been focused on the impact of Covid 19.
In that time, we have taken several important and unprecedented measures to protect public health.
We have been preparing for all eventualities.

Yesterday, the World Health Organisation formally described it as pandemic & the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control updated it guidelines advising us all to act early to be effective.
Our own National Public Health Emergency Team met last night.

They issued new advice to Government. We are acting on that advice today. There will be many more cases.
More people will get sick and unfortunately, we must face the tragic reality that some people will die.
The virus will continue to spread but it can be slowed.

I am pleased an agreement has been reached between EU & UK negotiators on a draft #Brexit Withdrawal Treaty. While I welcome these developments, Brexit is not our policy & is something we regret. However we respect the vote of the people of the UK.

Our national priorities are:
- protecting the Good Friday Agreement.
- maintaining the Common Travel Area & related benefits
- reaffirming our place at the heart of the EU
- protecting trade, jobs and the economy
On each of these, we have reached a satisfactory outcome today.

Avoiding a hard border has proven to be one of the most difficult challenges. What has become know as “the backstop” is now fully spelt out in the Withdrawal Agreement. The backstop would apply “unless and until” a better solution is agreed.
