Question:
To ask the Minister of Health, as of 25 February 2021, to detail the attack rate for COVID-19 is in Northern Ireland (i) in general; and (ii) with reference specifically to the B.117 "Kent" variant.

Answer:

The Delta variant in Northern Ireland now accounts for over 95% of all cases and is the dominant variant. There is no evidence that other significant variants are established in Northern Ireland at present.
