Five more people in Northern Ireland have died with coronavirus, taking the death toll to 299.
The figures cover mainly hospital deaths and are expected to rise once deaths in care homes and in the community are taken into account.
As another week of lockdown looms, Health Minister Robin Swann says the biggest threat in the fight against Covid-19 is complacency.
He said he was concerned people were "starting to ease up on their responsibility" over lockdown.
In the Republic of Ireland, another 26 people have died with Covid-19, bringing the total number of deaths linked to the virus to 1,087.

Within a week of asking for donations, she had raised £1,000 which was spent on toiletries for patients admitted to the Ulster Hospital, whose relatives cannot bring in such necessities.

Pat McManus, 60, was originally from the town but lived in England where he worked in a Staffordshire hospital.
The Church of the Immaculate Conception - where Mr McManus used to worship - rang its bells at 15:00 BST on Sunday and other local churches joined in.
His niece Aileen Mullen said it was "a beautiful thing to do to remember Pat".
Family and friends came to pay their respects to Mr McManus who contracted Covid-19 at work.
Eight two more people in Northern Ireland have tested positive for coronavirus after 874 tests were carried out.

The key measure that all governments are worrying about is the rate of infection, what is known as the R number.
Last month in the UK, people who had the virus were spreading it to about three others on average.
Now, with the help of the lockdown and other measures, that rate has been driven down to an estimated 0.7.
Crucially that’s below the threshold of 1.0 – anything above that means an infected person is passing the virus to more than one other and that allows the infection rate to become exponential again.
Image source, Getty ImagesAt the moment, estimates from Imperial College London show that allowing public gatherings could force the rate up by 0.6 – taking us above the critical line.
However they reckon that it might be possible to stay just below it while reopening schools – the move might nudge the rate up by 0.2 - but there’s huge uncertainty about this.
No-one is yet sure of the role of children in spreading the virus between households. One of the scientists advising the government described this as “one of our biggest research questions”.
Image source, PacemakerMany cemeteries across Northern Ireland have reopened following a decision by the Northern Ireland Executive.
Restrictions have been put in place at some graveyards in a bid to limit the spread of Covid-19.
A one-way system and a cap on numbers has been introduced at Londonderry's City Cemetery while at Roselawn and the City Cemetery in Belfast will initially only open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
This is to allow people to adhere to social distancing advice.
Graveyards were closed to the public in March due to lockdown measures.
But on Friday the executive agreed to reopen cemeteries following calls from the public.
First Minister Arlene Foster said it was about "balancing public health concerns with the basic human need to visit a loved one's grave".
The legislation was officially changed on Friday night after the executive discussed the matter at a lengthy meeting.
A further 368 people have died with coronavirus across England, Scotland and Wales, according to the latest figures from hospitals.
NHS England said 336 deaths had been recorded, taking the total to 18,420.
In Wales 14 more deaths have been recorded taking the total to 788, while in Scotland there have been 18 more deaths, a total of 1,249.
The figures do not include deaths in care homes or other settings.
The latest figures for Northern Ireland and the UK as a whole are expected later.

Police in Wales have revealed some of the excuses they've received from people supposedly making essential travel during the coronavirus lockdown.
Among the excuses given to Gwent Police officers were:

I spoke to Emma from Bee Haven Beekeepers, whose goal is not to produce honey but to help increase the awareness of native honey bees and their importance.
According to Emma, there isn't a definite answer as to whether there are more bees during lockdown, but in many respects what is happening is the opposite of normality.
Fewer bumble bees are dying by road kill and so more bee colonies are getting off to a good start, but some of the normal food supply for bees and pollinators has gone.
Garden centres aren't open, so we aren't buying plants.
We are also mowing our lawns, removing dandelions, weeds and wild flowers, which are natural bee forage.
The same could be said for other birds and animals.
The health minister says Northern Ireland's biggest threat in the fight against Covid-19 is complacency.
Robin Swann said he was concerned people were becoming more lax over the lockdown rules and were "starting to ease up on their responsibility".
There have been 294 coronavirus-related deaths in NI.
He said the executive was working on what steps they could take to return to a sense of normality over the coming months but there would be no timetable.
"I think it will encourage a greater sense of ease and complacency if people think 'well, if it'll be alright in two weeks so it'll be alright today'," he told the BBC.
Image source, PA MediaPrime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to return to work at Downing Street tomorrow after three weeks during which he was treated in hospital and recovered at Chequers for Covid-19.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, who stood in for the PM, said Mr Johnson was "raring to go" and described his return as a "boost for the country".
Image source, ReutersMr Johnson was admitted to St Thomas' Hospital in central London on 5 April and spent three nights in intensive care.
He received regular oxygen treatment to help his breathing and said his condition "could have gone either way".
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab says "careful steps" are needed for easing the UK's lockdown, however, he warns that social distancing will remain "for some time".
Mr Raab, who has been deputising for Prime Minister Boris Johnson during his recuperation from the virus, says the country would move to a "new normal" rather than a "binary" loosening of restrictions.
He continued to say it was "inconceivable" for schools to return without further social distancing measures, while the reopening of non-essential shops would also require restrictions similar to those in, for instance, food stores which have remained open.
Although summer sporting activities would be difficult, he added, in a nod to major sporting events, "professional sport may be different because of the scale of testing that they would be able to introduce".

A retired teacher from Strangford has told BBC News NI of her concerns that her twin daughters' "hard work" towards their AS-level exams is now "essentially worth very little".
Earlier this month, the department of education announced that AS grades would be awarded this summer but would not count towards final A-level results.
Image source, McStay familyDeirdre McStay says it's been "distressing" that her daughters Catherine and Maria's efforts "appeared wasted".
The department says there is "no perfect solution" but the changes are "in the best interests of the young people".
Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer has called for the government to work with local authorities to open up libraries and town halls as additional Covid-19 community testing centres.
In a letter to the prime minister, he writes: "It is not just about the quantity of testing but the availability of testing being provided that is of concern."

The Irish government is expected to announce plans to increase its coronavirus testing capacity to 100,000 tests a week.
The current capacity is for 10,000 tests per day.

It's London Marathon Day - with a difference.
Instead of the world's elite-long distance athletes, running enthusiasts and the odd fancy dress costume sweating through the UK capital, the event's postponement until October this year has been substituted for the 2.6 Challenge.
Image source, Getty ImagesOrganisers are encouraging people to come up with fundraising activities to plug an expected £4bn income shortfall for charities due to the marathon becoming one of many sporting events affected by coronavirus.
Follow the BBC's live page on the vast array of challenges taking place around the UK.
One of those getting involved is 26-year-old Col Bignell, who had plans to run his first marathon in London.
Instead, he ran the equivalent distance in his Comber living room.

The pain barrier? "The blisters on my feet are crazy."
Col says his fiancée kept him going with chocolate raisins and iced lollies.
"It is definitely completely different from doing a normal run," he adds.
