Five new cases of coronavirus announced in NI yesterday - it brings the total to 12 here. 成人快手 NI Health correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly has the latest.

Five new cases of coronavirus announced in NI yesterday - it brings the total to 12 here. Northern Italy in lockdown - there have 7,375 people infected and 366 deaths in Italy - and therefore the government have imposed a lockdown on 16 million people. However, what about people who are flying back into NI from these areas - will there be hard, concise advice at airports - and what is the advice? Stockpiling - is that sensible planning for what is to come or a complete over reaction? and what are the experts predicting for the UK in the coming weeks? Is it just a matter of time before we experience similar circumstances to Italy? Or will containment and delay work differently and better here? Stephen spoke to 成人快手 NI Health Correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly, Dr Lindsay Broadbent, Virologist at Queen's University in Belfast, Professor Ian Goodfellow - Professor of Virology at University of Cambridge and journalist Sean O'Halloran in Italy.

Also on the programme, the PSNI have been criticised for an initiative aimed at celebrating International Women's Day which asked female officers to nominate a male colleague who had supported them in their career. Many critics said it was wrong to focus on male achievements on a day intended to be a celebration of women. Stephen got the views of journalist Amanda Ferguson and commentator Emma Woolf.
