The head of the HSE has urged businesses and the public not to throw away the progress made in suppressing the spread of Covid-19 amid signs that compliance with public health restrictions is beginning to crumble.
In the wake of the Government’s new Covid-19 plan, which extends the current lockdown to at least April 5, some businesses reopened this week in defiance of level 5 restrictions, while others have threatened to reopen in the coming weeks and months regardless of public health advice.
