There is no rule stating you cannot be in a room with someone for more than two hours due to Covid-19.

That is according to the Deputy Chief Medical Officer, after the Oireachtas was given advice that TDs could not spend any longer than two hours a day in the Dáil chamber, leading to concerns it could apply to other workplaces too.
