Northern Ireland's First Minister Arlene Foster has confirmed that the easing of coronavirus restrictions will take place as planned tomorrow.
She said the Stormont Executive heard an update on the transmission of the virus, and agreed that the current R-number being around 1 has given the "necessary headroom to move ahead with the planned changes".
However, she cautioned that while shopping, parts of hospitality and close contact services may resume, the public must follow health guidelines.
Her remarks come as Northern Ireland reported a further 14 coronavirus-related deaths and 441 new confirmed cases. The death toll in the North now stands at 1,099 with 56,719 confirmed infections.
