Changing social distancing rules are being considered for hospitality sector

The National Public Health Emergency Team's considering changing the social distancing rules for the hospitality sector.

The 2 metre guideline could be reduced to 1 metre, but only for periods when the Covid-19 transmission rate is low across the country.

Thousands of workers in hotels, pubs and restaurants may not be able to return to their jobs if the 2 metre rule isn't relaxed.

4 more people with Covid-19 have died, with just nine new cases, none of which are in counties Longford, Leitrim and Roscommon,

Chief Medical Officer, Dr Tony Holohan, says social distancing is being kept under review for the tourism industry.
