The latest figures show there are also 88 new cases of the virus.
This brings the overall death toll to 1,547 - while the number of cases stands at 24,200.
It comes on the first day of the easing of restrictions here.
Outdoor workers - including constructions workers, landscapers and gardeners - have returned to work with hardware stores, DIY shops and garden centres re-opening their doors.
Car and bike repair shops have also re-opening, alongside IT and phone shops, office suppliers, electrical stores and a number of others.
Optometrists and hearing aid testing service have also been given the green light.
But the Government says people should only visit the newly re-opened shops for essential supplies.
Meanwhile the total death toll in the UK stands at 34,796 - still the highest in Europe.
