Four further coronavirus-related deaths have been reported in Northern Ireland on Monday.
The death toll from the Department of Health now stands at 2,665.
Three fatalities are said to have occurred during the current reporting period, and one outside of it.
A further 1,019 positive Covid cases have also been recorded in NI today.
This brings the total number of positive cases to 268,206 since the start of the pandemic, according to the Department of Health.
Over the past seven days, the Department said 8,907 individuals have tested positive in Northern Ireland.
According to figures released on Monday, there are currently 348 Covid-19 confirmed patients in hospital and 33 in intensive care.
Meanwhile, NI's health service needs additional funding so it does not have to continually call for military assistance during times of crisis, Robin Swann has warned.
The Health Minister was speaking as he met Army medics who have completed their latest deployment to help relieve pressure on staff at the Ulster Hospital.
He said the Army should not be seen as a "permanent fixture" in Northern Ireland's hospitals.
It is the third time troops have come to the region during the Covid crisis following requests from the Department of Health under an arrangement known as Maca (Military Aid to Civilian Authorities).
On this occasion, 80 medics and 30 support staff were deployed. Twenty medics were sent to the Ulster Hospital, with the rest deployed at the City and Antrim Area Hospitals.
