Meanwhile, on Thursday the Northern Ireland Executive announced an extension of the currently lockdown.
Speaking after the Executive's four-week review of the latest six-week restrictions, it was announced that measures would not end on February 6 as was originally planned.
Instead, the current lockdown will be extended until March 5, with a review of this expected at the end of February.
Arlene Foster said: "The Executive today [Thursday] has reviewed the current restrictions and has agreed that they remain and appropriate and necessary response to the serious and imminent threat posed by Covid-19, and following a detailed outlining from Health highlighting the continuing pressures on our hospitals and ICU departments and the emergence of the highly transmissible variants, the Executive has agreed that the current restrictions will be extended for a further four weeks until March 5. The restrictions will be reviewed on or before February 18."
