What does it mean for the rest of the island?

Deputy Chief Medical Officer Ronan Glynn has said the Covid-19 situation in Northern Ireland is of "real concern".

Joining me now is Professor Karina Butler, Chair of the National  Immunisation  Advisory Committee, Consultant Paediatrician and Infectious Disease Expert.
