There have been no further deaths of patients who had previously tested positive for Covid-19 in Northern Ireland.
The Department of Health said there had been an additional 64 cases of the virus confirmed in the last 24-hour reporting period.
It comes as Boris Johnson has said there is a "good chance" the one-metre plus social distancing rule can be scrapped in England from 21 June.
During a campaign visit in Hartlepool, the Prime Minister told reporters: "I think we've got a good chance, a good chance, of being able to dispense with one-metre plus."
He stressed the move would be "dependent on the data" and "we can't say it categorically yet", but added: "That's what it feels like to me right now."
Meanwhile more than 50-million coronavirus vaccines have now been delivered across the UK - in under five months since the rollout began.
The health secretary's again thanked those helping to get the jabs into arms.
