There have been an additional 298 confirmed cases of COVID19 in Northern Ireland.

No further deaths have been reported in the past 24 hours.

The latest vaccination figures show 1,996,954 jabs have been administered in the region in total.

Experts fear a sharp rise in cases across the UK is because of the Delta variant which spreads more easily. 

It's prompted calls for all adults still to be immunised to 'grab a jab'. 

Walk-in vaccination slots are available in Belfast from 8.30am tomorrow. 

Tanya Daly, Vaccine Project Lead at the South Eastern Trust, says photo ID will be needed. 

"For the first time here walk-in COVID-19 vaccinations will be available for those over the age of 18 years of age without an appointment," she said. 

"The doors will be open between 8:30am and 6pm at the SSE Arena Belfast for first dose of Pfizer only.

"Slots will be on a first come, first served basis only.    

"Those attending should ensure they bring photo ID and where possible a Health and Care Number to the.

"Please note there will be no walk-in facility to receive second doses."
