It’s expected people will be allowed go beyond 2 kilometres from their home when the government begins to ease restrictions next month.
Older people, who are cocooning, are also expected to be allowed to exercise outdoors according to the Irish Independent.
Hardware stores and garden centres may also be allowed to open once social distancing is maintained.
Clare GP, Dr Liam Glynn, says we have to be extremely cautious.
"It's like a war time situation, we have to know ourselves and we have to know our enemy.
"We get this knowledge from testing, so this is the crucial thing.
"We have the capacity to ease restrictions, and everybody wants that to happen.
"But we have to have the capacity to generate the data we need, to know what the effect of easing those restrictions are, and whether we need to change our approach."
