The National Public Health Emergency Team is due to meet on Thursday to discuss the latest data on Covid-19 and make recommendations to the government on what restrictions may be eased.
Taoiseach Micheal Martin has said the Cabinet will then meet on Friday to consider NPHET’s advice and decide what measures may be lifted.
Speaking on his way to Cabinet on Wednesday, the Taoiseach told RTE News: “In terms of restrictions and so on, NPHET will meet tomorrow, government will meet on Friday, and then we’ll give clarity to the public at large and to the various interests who are obviously very concerned about the situation and want that clarity, and we’ll take it step by step.”
