The National Public Health Emergency Team meets this morning to consider how any Covid-19 restrictions MIGHT be eased from next month.
A further 77 people have lost their lives after being infected with the virus, bringing the death toll to 687.
401 new cases have been diagnosed, meaning there have been 15,652 confirmed coronavirus cases since it began spreading here.
Chief medical officer Tony Holohan says this morning's meeting will look at how relaxing any measures would work.
"we're giving specific consideration to a range of measures that might be contemplated in a situation whereby the disease characteristics may be such that we might be able to think about changing some of the restrictions.
"That work we're doing, we're having a further look at that.
"The question of travel is always part of our agenda on a consistent basis."
