Covid cases continue to rise in Northern Ireland with 1,776 recorded on Monday.
This brings the total number of positive cases to 140,322 since the start of the pandemic, according to the Department of Health.
One further coronavirus-related death has been reported, with the death toll from the DoH now standing at 2,163.
Over the past seven days, the Department said 7,354 individuals have tested positive in Northern Ireland.
According to figures released on Monday, there are currently 109 Covid-19 confirmed patients in hospital and seven in intensive care.
Meanwhile, a Northern Ireland Health Trust has suspended all patient visits at their hospitals until further notice.
The Southern Health and Social Care Trust, which manages Craigavon, Daisy Hill, South Tyrone, Lurgan and St Luke's hospitals, says it has made the decision because of the sharp rise in coronavirus cases across the north.
They said in a statement on Friday: "Due to increasing cases of Covid-19 within our communities, visiting will be suspended from 9pm this evening (except for end of life visiting).
"Friends and family can arrange ‘virtual visits’ by calling 07776516419 between 9am and 5pm.
"We appreciate your continued support."
