Another 18 people have died as a result of contracting COVID-19 in Northern Ireland.
There are 137 more cases.
At least 41 people have died from COVID-19 in care homes and hospices in Northern Ireland.
The figure represents around a quarter of the overall number, and involves 23 separate facilities, official statistics reveal.
Dr Tom Black, chairman of the British Medical Association (BMA) in the country, said residents often have other underlying illnesses which leave them at greater risk.
“It is distressing for anyone to lose a family member due to Covid-19, whether that is in a hospital, care home, hospice or family home, but we need to get a clear picture of how our population is being affected as this will help us plan our services in the most effective way,” he said.
Meanwhile in England, police have been criticised for allowing people to breach the social distancing rules during the weekly round of applause for front line workers on Westminster Bridge.
Footage taken on Thursday night showed hundreds of people gathering for the ‘Clap for Carers event.
