Another 26 people have died after contracting Covid-19, the Department of Health has said.
It brings the death toll recorded by the department to 1,559.
A further 1,052 positive cases have also been confirmed since yesterday.
In the north's hospitals, 840 patients have contracted the virus. Of these, 63 are in ICU with 47 on ventilators.
There are 130 patients awaiting admission, according to today's statistics.
In care homes, there are 139 outbreaks.
Earlier today, figures released by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (Nisra) showed the deaths of more than 2,000 people have been linked to Covid-19.
The Department of Health's statistics focus primarily on hospital deaths and only include people who have tested positive for the virus.
Nisra obtains its data from death certificates in which Covid-19 is recorded as a factor by a medical professional, regardless of where the death took place. The person may or may not have tested positive for the virus.
The chief medical officers in Northern Ireland and the Republic have issued a joint plea to the public to stay at home amid high levels of Covid-19 across the island.
"As CMOs, we are gravely concerned about the unsustainably high level of Covid-19 infection we are experiencing on the island of Ireland," Dr Michael McBride and Dr Tony Holohan said.
