The National Public Health Emergency Team has recommended extending the use of Covid certificates to other areas outside of hospitality.
It is understood that NPHET does not specify where the certificates could be used and any extension could require new legislation.
It is also understood that NPHET does not recommend the reimposition of social and economic restrictions for now, but warned that such a move cannot be ruled out in the future.
The recommendation was contained in a letter sent by NPHET to Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly yesterday. In it, NPHET also strongly advised the Government that people work from home, where possible, and that employers be supportive of the move.
