The Department of Health has reported a further 11 coronavirus related deaths.
According to the latest update, nine of the fatalities are said to have occurred with the current reporting period, and the other two deaths occurred outside the current period.
The death toll in Northern Ireland now stands at 889, according to the DoH.
Wednesday's dashboard update reports a further 518 positive cases of the virus, bringing the total number of positive cases to 48,229 since the start of the pandemic.
Over the past seven days, the Department says 3,535 individuals have tested positive in Northern Ireland.
There are currently 452 Covid-19 confirmed patients in hospital and 44 in intensive care.
Meanwhile, additional interventions to curb the spread of coronavirus are likely before Christmas says Northern Ireland's Chief Scientific Adviser.
Chief Medical Officer Dr Michael McBride had warned that any extension to the circuit breaker of less than two full weeks would cause excess deaths.
Professor Ian Young said there was a desire and will across the UK and Ireland to allow families to celebrate this festive season, but warned relaxing restrictions risked driving up infection.
Professor Young added: "We anticipate an increased transmission of the virus and in due course an increase in terms of pressure on hospitals in relation to admissions and inpatients."
