Cabinet will make its decision as to whether the country is ready to move from level 3 on Monday.
But today, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will reveal new level 2 details in an attempt to give people and businesses clarity around the next step.
The current advice, which is subject to change today, says gatherings of up to 100 people indoors, and 500 outdoors, will be allowed – as long as there are contact-tracing abilities.
Public venues, such as cafés and shops, can open under that advice and most schools will be allowed to reopen, as long as there is 1m physical distancing.
Most businesses can open under level 2, but many will have to adopt a new model of operating.
Businesses would also need to ensure contact tracing and policies around staff being sick.
Retailers will also be opening their doors again - but limits are likely over how many people can be in a store at one time.
