Further Easing Of Current Restrictions To Be Discussed By NPHET On Thursday

The remaining phases for the easing of lockdown restrictions will be discussed by the National Public Health Emergency Team on Thursday.

The plans have already been fast-tracked, with the lockdown easing reduced earlier this month to four phases rather than five.
The numbers have been encouraging in recent weeks with no new deaths reported in the latest figures for the second time in less than a month.
The Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Tony Holohan, is encouraged by our progress but says a lot can change between now and the beginning of the final phase in late July.

Almost 1.7 million people say they are wearing face masks in public spaces.
That's based on latest data from the Department of Health, which shows an increase of six percent on last week.
Wearing face coverings isn't mandatory in Ireland, but it's recommended in situations where a two-metre distance is hard to maintain.
