Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has said that the low numbers of people wearing masks on public transport is “a concern” heading into winter.
The Minister told Newstalk this morning that the Government currently has no plans to bring in any mandatory mask rules for the winter season. He said: "We are in a phase of Covid, where we are managing with Covid.
"It is about all of us doing the right thing. I can be clear on this as well: I have no public health advice nor has there been any discussion of any public advice coming to me that would suggest mandates for masks."
