The changes are expected to allow people from rural areas to travel greater distances than those who live in urban towns and cities.
From tomorrow, four people from two households will also be able to meet outdoors to socialise – including in gardens.
Outdoor sports facilities, such as basketball courts, tennis courts and golf courses, can also reopen.
Hairdressers and barbers can also reopen for appointments from Monday – the same day that all primary school pupils and those in exam years can return to the classroom.
Non-essential shops will begin to reopen gradually from March 22, while restrictions will be lifted on what can be sold in shops which are currently open.
All shops, including all close contact services, will be able to open from April 12, the same date as in England.
