'We're not there yet': Taoiseach says restrictions won't be lifted in coming days

The Taoiseach has said we are "not there yet" regarding the lifting of current restrictions to stop the spread of coronavirus.

The Taoiseach says that the rate of deaths and new cases of Covid-19 are not low enough to loosen restrictions.

Speaking today, Leo Varadkar said although "things may change by Friday", he doesn't believe Ireland is headed for a reopening, and added the government hopes to share their plan for lifting restrictions in the next few days.
