Shops that are set to reopen from Monday will be required to operate staggered opening hours.
Shopping centres can welcome customers back on June 15th provided only the shops open.
However they will be required to close off communal areas and remove seating.
Business Minister Heather Humphreys says people shouldn't be spending large amounts of time hanging around in shopping centres.
"This will mean that a trip to the chopping centre will not be a day out, or somewhere to hang out with your friends.
"You will need to queue, go to the shop you want, and leave.
"My department has prepared specific guidance in this area through the NSAI, which we will finalise with the HSE in the coming days before publication."
