It comes as the Government is to meet to consider options to come out of level five restrictions next week.
The National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) is meeting a day earlier than planned this week, on Wednesday, as discussions on exiting level five continue.
Government party leaders are also meeting on Monday to discuss exiting level five, while the Cabinet will meet on Tuesday morning as usual.
Cabinet will then meet on either Thursday or Friday to discuss NPHET's recommendations - however it is believed the preference is to make an announcement before Friday.
