Police have been warned the public to "stay at home" despite forecasters predicting scorching temperatures in many areas in Northern Ireland this weekend.
The authorities on both sides of the border have already enforced tougher measures on people's travel this week with checkpoints being put in place North and South.
The measures set out by the PSNI and An Garda Síochána aim to discourage people from leaving their homes and travelling to holiday locations over the Easter weekend.
Sunshine is set to heat up Northern Ireland this, with temperatures set to reach highs of between 17C to 19C.
And on Friday, the PSNI launched a dedicated web page for members of the public to report instances where social distancing is not being adhered to.
It comes after ten more people died in Northern Ireland on Friday, while 25 more died in the Republic of Ireland.
As of April 10, there are a total of 380 deaths on the island of Ireland.
Speaking on Friday, a PSNI spokesperson said he was concerned that people might try to take advantage of the good weather conditions.
"We are continually criticised no matter what we try and do. In the eyes of some, it’s never good enough. We are too soft, we are too hard, we don’t ever do enough to fix everything that is wrong with the world.
"This is a health issue the police are trying to support and keep you safe. This isn’t us trying to flex our muscles or ruin people’s fun.
"We are trying to engage and encourage you to stay at home unless it is essential.
"Consider that driving your car automatically increases your risk of being involved in an accident, which may require one ambulance, maybe more.
"That in turn means a trip to A&E and therefore taking paramedics, nurses and doctors away from dealing with those pressing matters you may have heard about on the news.
"Just stop and think. Driving for a few miles to go for a walk just because it’s a nicer place to walk or you ‘fancied a change of scenery’ isn’t essential.
"We will keep doing our very best to do our jobs and protect everyone, but this isn’t rocket science.
"It requires each and every person to do their part because this is about all of us, so for those who are continuing to ignore the advice from the government, you’re only going to extend this period of time and we are going to start issuing fines.
"We are now conducting vehicle check points and will continue to do so as we try to provide reassurance, explain and encourage people to stop travelling unless it is essential.
"To those who are abiding by the guidance issued by the government, we genuinely thank you."
