Ireland is taking a cautious approach to re-opening the country with the next restrictions changes expected on April 5th.
These include the easing of the 5km travel rule and the possible re-opening of construction before it will then take six weeks to review the changes again
However, as cautious as Ireland is re-opening, some countries have their dates for re-opening.
Here's the worldwide dates given for life post-pandemic as the vaccine proves effective.
Israel
Israel's vaccine roll-out has been tried and tested and has shown that Pfizer's vaccine is effective at preventing deaths and hospitalisations.
The country is currently re-opening, with the latest restrictions to be eased being that people who are vaccinated can dine inside.
Those who are yet to be vaccinated are still to eat outside in open air dining areas.
The U.S
America has had the highest number of cases than any other country in the world.
With Joe Biden now President, legislation to ramp up the use of facemasks and other safety measures in public has been put in place.
It's unclear when the economy will reopen fully, but many US states have various restrictions eased as it is.
Cinemas, retail outlets, gyms, barbershops, restaurants, pubs and aquariums are already open in most states.
And by Independence Day, the US is likely to be in a very different place, the President said this week: "If we do this together, by 4 July, there is a good chance you, your family and friends can get together in your backyard or in your neighbourhood and have a cookout or a barbecue and celebrate Independence Day.
"After a long, hard year, that will make this Independence Day truly special - where we not only mark our independence as a nation but we begin to mark our independence from this virus."
The UK
The UK has announced that every aspect of the economy will re-open by the 21st June.
Hospitality will re-open on the 12th of April, with other sectors opening during May and June.
Europe
Most countries in Europe still have travel bans in place.
Germany is open for some essential travel, but tourism is strictly forbidden.
France is the world's top tourism destination country by arrivals, and they have banned all travel with countries outside the European Union.
This is due to a continuously high infection rate and new mutations of the coronavirus.
Italy has extended their lockdown until at least April 30th, with the EU's traffic light system in place for travellers.
Red is the zone with the highest risk of infection and white is the lowest. Currently classified as orange zones — the category for medium risk of infection — are South Tyrol, Umbria, Emilia Romagna, and Lombardy.
Italy has 20 regions and many are currently in yellow with a low risk of infection, including the capital region of Lazio, Liguria and the island of Sicily.
In the yellow zones, stores and restaurants have reopened, but no more than four people are allowed to sit at a table- sights such as the Colessuem have reopened.
The country permits unrestricted entry from the EU, the Schengen Area and a small list of third countries, but has suspended incoming flights from Great Britain since December 22.
On February 4, Spain introduced restrictions on inbound flights from Brazil and South Africa in a bid to stop the spread of new strains of the coronavirus detected in those countries.
The measure will last at least until March 16.
Entry requirements to Greece have been tightened: online registration is mandatory and a negative PCR test no more than 72 hours old must be available. All persons entering Greece by March 8, 2021, must undergo a seven-day domestic quarantine.
The Greek government has ordered a lockdown for the entire country, which has been extended until March 16.
Greece is also divided into yellow and red areas according to the infection rates which can be adjusted at short notice
