The criteria for who can be tested for Covid-19 is likely to be broadened later.
The National Public Health Emergency Team meets this morning to assess the country's response to the pandemic, and to consider how any of the current restrictions could be lifted next month.
The death toll from Covid-19 has risen to 794, after a further 28 patients died.
936 new cases have also been detected, which is the highest daily increase, and brings the number of positive tests to 17,607.
Chief medical officer Tony Holohan says today's meeting will look at increasing testing.
"Among the things we will be looking at is case definition, and what the nature of the change in that case definition might need to be.
"As we move towards a plan to increase our capacity to detect cases more readily in circumstances where we have driven down the rates of community transmission - in other words make the case definition more sensitive, and more likely to pick up a case were a case to occur."
