Ten further coronavirus-related deaths have been reported in Northern Ireland.
The death toll from the Department of Health now stands at 2,656.
A further 1,323 positive Covid cases have also been recorded in NI on Saturday.
The full dashboard is not set to be updated until Monday, October 25, but in a tweet, the DoH said that 2,459,543 vaccines have been administered in total.
Meanwhile, Robin Swann has warned Northern Ireland's health service is facing its most difficult winter ever.
The health minister has delivered an urgent written statement to the Assembly, detailing winter and Covid surge delivery plans in local health trusts.
Modelling carried out by the trusts has suggested there will be a shortfall in acute bed capacity in hospitals over the winter months.
The minister has said mitigating actions would include the provision for 586 new acute hospital beds and a reduction in the delivery of elective care.
Elective surgery hubs are to be created to ensure planned operations will continue through the winter.
Mr Swann said: "Make no mistake, we are most likely facing into the most difficult winter ever experienced by the HSC (health and social care) system.
"In fact, the current context underlines the challenges ahead. Over this summer and into the autumn, the Northern Ireland hospital system has consistently been operating above capacity, with many patients waiting on trollies for admission.
"This situation is unheard of during the summer months and is an indication of the scale of unscheduled pressures likely facing the HSC system this winter."
