The remaining Covid restrictions will be removed from law in Northern Ireland at 5pm on Tuesday.
The regulations from Health Minister Robin Swann have been laid before the Stormont Assembly and will formally take effect later today.
Coronavirus legal restrictions are being lifted in Northern Ireland and replaced with guidance.
Mr Swann confirmed on Monday that he would make an order revoking the remaining rules on Tuesday.
Under the Covid-19 regulations, people were still required to wear face coverings in public places and Covid certificates were needed for nightclubs.
Hospitality and entertainment venues will still be encouraged to use the Covid certificates but it will no longer be legally required.
The regulations in Northern Ireland were not due to expire until March 24, but had been reviewed by the executive every three weeks.
However, Northern Ireland has no functioning executive after the DUP removed Paul Givan as first minister.
Requirements for risk assessments in work places for social distancing will also be scrapped, with it now also being guidance.
Self-isolating and testing guidance currently remains the same.
The move to ease restrictions has been welcomed by businesses and other political parties in Northern Ireland.
But Mr Swann has urged the public to remain cautious and vigilant in the coming weeks.
"It must always be remembered that taking unnecessary risks with Covid may affect people who are particularly vulnerable to the virus," he said.
"So please do not jump the gun and start behaving as if the pandemic is over. That is not the case."
The other four Executive parties supported Mr Swann in moving unilaterally to lift the restrictions.
Stormont's Finance Minister Conor Murphy said he wants to get to a position where there was no need for any Covid-19 guidance.
"We look forward to a time that we can remove all restrictions, and all guidance becomes a thing of the past," Mr Murphy said on Tuesday.
"But the pandemic is still going on, there are still people dying, there's still people contracting the virus. And so there has to be a degree of caution in relation to that."
