Nation moves to Level 3
Irish Times: “In a significant break with its advisers on the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) and after a series of tense meetings between ministers and officials throughout the day, the Cabinet decided to move the entire country to level three restrictions for the next three weeks, rather than the Level 5 requested by chief medical officer Dr Tony Holohan.”
Irish Examiner: “Visitors to homes will be capped at six from one other household, people should remain in their county unless essential and workers are asked to work from home unless necessary. Weddings can go head but with a limit of 25 people, as can funerals. Visits to nursing homes are suspended, non-elite sport is cancelled and all retail will remain open. Schools will also remain open.”
