Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan has called for caution as the country continues to open up.
He said: "It is extremely important that business owners, employees and customers take great care and review safety protocols and practices, and ensure to consider all the actions we can all take as individuals to protect ourselves and our loved ones.
"Only return to the workplace if it is necessary to do so. Continue to wear a mask, practice social distancing, good hand hygiene and cough etiquette. If you feel unsafe in a crowded environment, feel empowered to turn around and go home."
Earlier today the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (Nisra) released figures showing 2,958 deaths linked to the virus had occurred in NI up to April 30.
Nisra obtains its data from death certificates on which Covid-19 is recorded as a factor by a medical professional, regardless of where the death took place or whether the patient tested positive.
The Department of Health’s statistics focus primarily on hospital deaths and only include people who have tested positive for the virus.
