Minister Simon Harris has suggested there could be a further easing of restrictions on outdoor activities in May

Cabinet will meet next week to lay out a roadmap for the re-opening of the country over the coming months.

The full return of construction is expected in May, along with the re-opening of retail and personal services like hairdressers. 

Minister Simon Harris says if the virus continues to be suppressed they may be able to go a small bit further:

"That's a lot. That's a fair bit of reopening in May, and if in the month of May, you could see retail reopen personal services reopen and all of construction resume. I think and I'm not going to go much further than this but I do think the evidence around outdoor activities, and how they can be done safely, and perhaps gives hope that we could do a little bit more in the outdoor space as well."
