The Northern Ireland Executive has approved the reopening of garden centres and household recycling centres from Monday. Marriage ceremonies involving someone who is suffering from a terminal illness will also be allowed from next week.
The measures have been approved by ministers as part of a phased exit from Covid-19 restrictions. First Minister Arlene Foster said the announcement represented "very tentative first steps toward recovery".
Northern Ireland's lockdown exit plan sets out a five-step process but does not assign projected dates for any of the stages. "We hope to reveal more about the implementation of stage one on Monday," said Mrs Foster.
