There have been four swine-flu deaths in Northern Ireland since last Thursday.
The latest deaths bring to 21 the number of people who have died from H1N1 flu during the current flu season.
That figure does not include the two-year-old child from the Republic who died while being cared for in an intensive care unit in NI.
Of the four victims who lived locally, one was a 10-month-old baby, the others were adults.
Of the 21 people who have died from the H1N1 virus, 18 had underlying medical conditions, one case is still unclear.
Since last week, one further person has died from the Influenza B virus which is a different strain of flu.
