There have been another 12 deaths of patients who previously tested positive for Covid-19 in Northern Ireland.
A further 1,648 cases of the virus were also notified by the region's Department of Health.
On the same day, hospitals remained under pressure with 373 Covid-positive patients, of whom 41 were in intensive care.
The push remains on to vaccinate as many people as possible against Covid-19.
Following the closure of the mass vaccination centre at the SSE Arena in Belfast, an outside facility has been set up in the arena car park and mobile units are being utilised across the region.
So far, 2,417,807 vaccines have been administered.
However Northern Ireland has the lowest vaccination rates in the UK.
It also has the highest infection rate in the UK and Ireland at 630 cases per 100,000 people.
Chief scientific adviser Professor Ian Young said he believes Northern Ireland is now very close to the peak of this latest wave, and he expects a slightly decline in the coming weeks.
Despite this he said pressures on hospitals following the latest surge of cases is not likely to peak until early September.
He added in an interview with the BBC that "every effort" is being made to address the lower vaccination rates in Northern Ireland through taking mobile vaccination units which are more difficult to reach and allowing walk-in vaccination at all vaccine centres.
Covid-19 vaccine certificates can now be applied for by those in Northern Ireland planning to travel within the next three months, the Department of Health has said.
The certificates provide citizens with official confirmation that they have received both their Covid-19 vaccinations in Northern Ireland.
They are available in digital format, or paper versions can be requested by phone for those who cannot apply online.
