There were three new confirmed cases of Covid-19, bringing the total to 4,841 since the pandemic began.
From today people living alone in Northern Ireland are able to reunite with their families after three months of coronavirus lockdown.
They will be able to meet with one other household to combat loneliness caused by the social-distancing restrictions, First Minister Arlene Foster said.
It means an isolated grandparent will be able to see and hug their grandchildren again, and partners separated by the pandemic since March can meet up without needing to observe a two-metre distance.
People can also stay overnight if they wish.
The number of people who can meet outside has increased from six to ten, but social distancing must still be observed by these groups to limit the risk of transmission.
Elsewhere, several hundred people attended a demonstration outside Belfast's City Hall to protect war memorials after several statues were threatened in England and elsewhere. The demonstration passed off without any incidents.

It said health protection guidelines are still in place to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
