Another 13 people have died as a result of COVID-19 in Northern Ireland.
The death toll now stands at 207.
The projected number of coronavirus-related deaths in Northern Ireland has been reduced, thanks to social distancing measures put in place.
Health Minister Robin Swann said the country was facing a ‘worst-case scenario’ of 1,500 deaths within the first 20 weeks of the pandemic.
That figure has been cut from the predicted 15,000.
In a briefing on Mr Swann said 40 people were in hospital intensive care units on Monday. Hospitals on Sunday recorded 88 admissions.
And the Duke of Edinburgh has made a rare public statement, praising those tackling the coronavirus crisis in the UK as well as those key workers, keeping essential services flowing.
Prince Philip, 98, who retired from public duties in 2017, said he wanted to pay tribute to the ‘vital and urgent’ medical and scientific work taking place.
In his message, he thanked those involved in food production and distribution, including refuse collectors and postmen.
The message remains ‘stay at home’ as outlined here:

Victoria Beckham meanwhile has come under criticism after it was revealed that she is furloughing her staff at her fashion business, despite her wealth.
Absolutely disgraceful when #newstarterfurlough are receiving 0 help when all we did was change jobs after 28th Feb. It's hard enough to get by as a single parent at the best of times nevermind with no financial support for months. The Beckhams should be ashamed!! https://t.co/qDPhF2vQ38
