No new cases of COVID-19 have been recorded – however nine more people have tested positive.
It comes as Health Minister Robin Swann has announced a rolling programme of testing in Northern Ireland’s care homes.
It means residents and staff in homes which do not have a confirmed outbreak of the virus will be tested regularly from Monday, August 3.
Staff will be tested on a fortnightly basis and all residents on a monthly basis.
Testing continues to be prioritised for care homes with an outbreak.
“With the threat from COVID-19 still present, we must continue to do all we can to support care homes. That means protecting residents and staff.
“I want to again pay tribute to care home staff for all the work they have done during this pandemic,” said the Minister.
The frequency of testing of both staff and residents will continue to be kept under close review and may need to be increased depending on evidence, and on the transmission rates of the virus in the coming months.
It is also acknowledged that testing can be an intrusive and upsetting experience for frail and elderly residents.
The Minister added: “I want to place on record my thanks to all those who have worked to significantly increase our testing capacity in recent months.”
