The Acting Chief Medical Officer has urged people to go back to meeting people outdoors amid warnings that the country is in the “middle” of a summer wave.
Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has also confirmed that the Government is drafting a plan to deal with an expected “very significant surge of Covid” in the Autumn and Winter months.
Acting CMO Professor Breda Smyth said: “It's really important when we do have waves of different nature that we actually step up our behaviours again; washing our hands; wearing our masks when we do go into those crowded spaces.
