DUP Leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson on the Shankill Road in North Belfast.
Sir Jeffrey Donaldson said Covid-19 is "no joking matter" when asked about Sammy Wilson's controversial "ding dong" tweet about the Omicron variant.
The DUP leader addressed the controversy during a visit to the Shankill Road on Thursday afternoon.
However, he would not be drawn on if the East Antrim MP should have posted the comment.
