Limerick Chamber backs full workplace closure to slow the spread of Covid-19

If such a shutdown takes place, exceptions will need to be made for organisations that are critical to the medical, pharmaceutical and food supply chains.

The Board of Limerick Chamber said it supports a full workplace closure to help overcome the spread of COVID-19 at this critical stage.

The Chamber said that if such a closure is instituted, exceptions will need to be made for organisations that are critical to the medical, pharmaceutical and food supply chains. However, clarity, it said, must also be given with regards to supports for business and employees in this instance before this intervention is initiated.
