There have been three further deaths linked to Covid-19 in Northern Ireland and an additional 351 confirmed cases.
The latest figures from the Department of Health show there are now 414 patients with coronavirus in hospital, with 34 of those in intensive care units.
There are now 12 ICU beds available in the health service, while overall hospital bed occupancy is at 93%.
Meanwhile the PSNI have said they fined 39 people and issued a further 16 warning notices to people following three house parties across Belfast last night.
The force said that officers were called to two addresses in the south of the city at around midnight following reports of loud parties.
They said they found large numbers of people at both University Avenue and Sandymount Street.
A third party was reported earlier yesterday evening at Castle Street in Belfast city centre where a "large number" of people were found to be in attendance.
In a statement the PSNI said that 39 Covid 4 notices were issued, as well as six Covid 2 notices and ten Community Resolution Notices.
Covid 4 notices are issued for indoor or outdoor gatherings breaching the maximum allowed number of people and carry a penalty of £100, or £200 if not paid within 14 days.
Covid 2 notices and Community Resolution Notices do not carry a fiscal penalty.
The Northern Ireland Executive has been called on to present a united front to deliver a mass Covid-19 vaccination programme.
Ulster Unionist Party leader Steve Aiken urged the first and deputy first ministers to work together and put the same message out.
Health Minister Robin Swann has said preparations for the rollout of a vaccination programme from next month are "well under way".
Mr Aiken called on members of the Executive to get behind the health minister and support the programme.
He said: "All of the executive should be working together and getting the same message out.
"Now is not the time for backbiting but what we must be doing is supporting (Robin Swann) because we must support our health service to get through this stage."
"I really do hope that the various vaccines, their efficacy will be proved and they will be given the approval for their rollout to start."
He told BBC's The View: "We need to be doing this to be able to make sure we can come out the other side and make sure our health service isn't overwhelmed."
Mr Aiken said the most important thing for the people of Northern Ireland to do is to support the health minister.
The UUP leader also criticised DUP MLA Edwin Poots over an email he sent recently criticising the Department of Health's response to Covid-19.
Mr Aiken said: "We're well used to Edwin going off and undermining the overall health message.
"But all of the Executive together should be working on getting the same message out.
"The most important thing we need to be doing is for the people of Northern Ireland, to make sure that our health service is not overwhelmed."
Mr Aiken was also critical of the Department of the Economy, who he accused of failing to provide people with pandemic supports.
He said: "We have known that there was likely to be a second wave. We have also known that there was going to be a considerable amount of money available to support our economy.
"Quite frankly the Department of the Economy has failed considerably. The Department of the Economy has failed to get that money out the door to the people who need it most."
