NPHET will meet this afternoon to formulate its advice for Government on the scheduled further easing of restrictions this Friday.
This Friday, 22 October, was the date set by Government to bring the curtain down on almost all the pandemic related rules in society and the economy.
However, it now seems likely that Covid certificates will continue to be used in hospitality throughout the winter and the continued wearing of masks in a wide range of settings is also anticipated. But there remains some confidence within Government that numbers at indoor and outdoor events could increase from Friday.A major question facing NPHET and Government is whether nightclubs can open once again on Friday under the Covid certificate system.The final decision will be taken at a meeting of the Cabinet tomorrow.
The National Immunisation Advisory Committee also meets today amid a strong desire in Government to swiftly begin a vaccine booster programme for health workers and those aged over 60.
