The national lockdown is expected to be extended for another two weeks for the vast majority of people.
The National Public Health Emergency Team will meet this morning to discuss whether it should be extended beyond May 5th.
But according to the Irish Independent, very little change is likely for the following fortnight.
But over 70s may be allowed to exercise outside their homes once a day and outdoor workers may be able to work.
Health Minister Simon Harris says health experts will ultimately decide.
"We've got to make sure that we're following really good public health advice.
"We can't do anything that's politically expedient, or indeed anything that would put anybody's lives at risk.
"The National Public Health Emergency team will meet, and it will begin to have a look at what are the metrics, what does success look like, where do we need to get to in terms of certain things like ICU admissions, new cases, different rates to know whether it is safe or not to begin to ease some restrictions.
"They will meet again on Friday and evaluate that."
