One additional death involving Covid-19 has been reported in Northern Ireland, the Department of Health has said.
It brings the total number of deaths in the north to 548.
The number of positive cases following testing by both local centres and the national programme rose by four in the last 24 hours to 1,538.
The figures were released after statistics from the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (Nisra) recorded 816 deaths related to Covid-19 in the north.
The Nisra figures are substantially higher as they record all deaths where Covid-19 is mentioned on a death certificate whereas the Department of Health records mainly those in a hospital.
