What will the new Covid restrictions look like?

A full cabinet meeting is scheduled to take place at 4pm this afternoon and new Covid-19 restrictions will be announced later tonight. At present, Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan are at Level 4 with the rest of the country at Level 3.

It’s expected the new measures will contain elements of both Level 4 and Level 5 restrictions from the Government’s ‘Living With Covid-19’ plan. Under the new measures proposed most shops are expected to close, along with amenities such as gyms, and there could be additional travel restrictions.
