COVID-related travel restrictions for international arrivals into the north are set to be lifted on Friday.
The move will bring the region into line with Britain and removes the distinction between vaccinated and unvaccinated arrivals.
Current rules for arrivals depend on vaccination status but from March 18 unvaccinated travellers will no longer have to fill out a passenger locator form.
They also will not be required to take a pre-departure Covid-19 test or pay to book a post-arrival PCR test.
Managed hotel quarantines will also be fully stood down by the end of the month.
The move on international arrivals came as Department of Health said a review of Covid-19 testing is "ongoing".
Free mass testing in England is due to end on April 1.
The Department of Health said no changes to testing would take place until its review was completed.
Meanwhile, five more Covid-19-related deaths have been reported in the north, according to the latest figures.
The total number of deaths linked to Covid-19 in Northern Ireland now stands at 3,258.
Another 2,605 cases of coronavirus were reported on Tuesday, up from 1,822 cases the previous day.
There are 506 people with Covid in hospital, with four patients in intensive care.
