Latest coronavirus stories
Earlier, the Chair of the National Public Health Emergency Team's Epidemiological modelling advisory group, Professor Philip Nolan, said all the indicators show that the number of Covid-19 cases remains stable or in decline.
Speaking on RTÉ's This Week programme he said over the last few weeks there has been little change.
"In one sense as we ease restrictions and people go about their business in a freer manner we are going to see an increase in contacts. It is important to see the other side, to reduce the risk of contact leading to any infection.
"We are asking people to redouble efforts so that as they make contact with others to work hard that those contacts don't lead to transmission of the virus."
He did not accept criticism of NPHET for sending mixed messages regarding the wearing of masks.
"Now as we re-emerge this is the right time to reinforce the message that face masks are very strongly advised especially in circumstances where it is hard to maintain social distancing such as public transport and retail."
He said it is an additional protection from Covid-19 along with handwashing and reducing time you spend with people.
He said the fundamental advice is maintain as much distance as you can under any given circumstance. He said with young people going back to school, if two metres can't be maintained other measures have to be considered.
Meanwhile, no further coronavirus-related deaths have been recorded in Northern Ireland during the past 24 hours, for the fifth day in week.
The official Department of Health death toll remains at 541.
There are seven new cases of Covid-19, bringing the total to 4,848.
There are 40 confirmed Covid-19 patients being treated in hospitals, with seven in intensive care.
Public toilets and other amenities at forests and country parks owned by the Department of Agriculture in Northern Ireland can reopen from tomorrow.
In a further easing of Covid-19 restrictions, vans selling food, ice creams and beverages will also be able to operate at the locations.
