A further 902 cases of COVID-19 have been reported in Northern Ireland
It comes after a record 1,080 people tested positive in figures released yesterday, the highest daily total of new cases in the region.
134 people are in hospital with the virus there today, with 19 being treated in intensive care.
Yesterday, health minister Robin Swann told the Stormont Assembly the outbreak was the worst crisis the Executive has faced since devolution in 1999.
Meanwhile, Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister Michelle O'Neill has tested negative for COVID-19.
She was tested after a family member tested positive for the virus.
The Sinn Féin deputy leader said she will continue to self-isolate and carry out her ministerial duties remotely.
It comes as the British Medical Association (BMA) has recommended that masks should be mandatory indoors and outdoors in the UK where two-metre social distancing is not possible.
Publishing a wish list of recommendations for ministers, the BMA accused the British government of "letting down its guard" and said "inconsistent" messaging since the nationwide lockdown was lifted had played a part in the resurgence of the virus.
A total of 13,864 new coronavirus cases were reported in the UK on Friday, along with another 87 deaths.
The UK's coronavirus reproduction (R) number fell slightly to between 1.2 and 1.5 - down from between 1.3 and 1.6 last week.
