Ministers want to ensure the R-number remains below one before lifting restrictions further.
Last week, the executive said the R-number in Northern Ireland was sitting at 0.9, and that it would only allow more restrictions to be eased if it was still below one when it meets later.
Ministers will receive an update from the executive’s chief medical officer and chief scientific officer about where the R-number is sitting, before they can confirm the provisional changes.
