Up to five levels of Covid-19 restrictions will apply across the country under new plans being finalised by the Government. The Cabinet sub-committee on Covid-19 met today to discuss the medium-term Covid strategy, which is due to be published next week.

It also considered new advice from NPHET, which met this morning. The medium-term plan is expected to set out a system of applying grades from one to five to parts of the country, along with an overall national grade.

One would be normal while five would be the most serious level, with the most severe restrictions applying including a possible lockdown.

It would set out clearly what restrictions would apply at each level for social gatherings, sport, travel and religious services.
