NPHET, the National Public Health Emergency Team have started a meeting to discuss just what they will and will not allow the government to do from April 5th.
It’s understood that NPHET are not going to recommend any dramatic easing of restrictions due to case numbers being in and around 500 to 600 new confirmed cases on a daily basis.
The main problem is said to be the new variant the B117 because it’s allegedly much more transmissible.
Level 5 has been in place for three months with restrictions in place until at least April 5th.
A governmental meeting will take place today along with a NPHET meeting at 9am that will see whether or not NPHET will tell the government what they’re allowed to do.
Along with that, it’s understood that the 5km rule may be extended to 15km but no inter-county travel is likely.
Construction remains very much on the brink as the government say their priority is now secondary school students returning rather than construction workers going back to work.
Tennis, Golf and possibly two households being allowed to meet outdoors is also on the agenda.
