“Roadmap” For Reopening The Country To Be Signed-Off By Cabinet

A “roadmap” for reopening the country is due to be signed-off on by the Cabinet later.

The National Public Health Emergency Team meets this morning, and will issue advice to ministers on whether any Covid-19 measures can be lifted from next Tuesday.

It’s widely expected the Taoiseach will announce little, if any, changes to the current restrictions this evening.

The death toll from the virus has risen to 1,232, while the number of confirmed cases stands at 20,612.

232 of those are in Clare, as last night’s update registered no new cases in this county.

Chief Medical Officer Tony Holohan says people only want restrictions lifted when it’s safe to do so.
