Confusion as Government statements on indoor dining certs are further clarified

Although the Government expects the majority of people will receive a DCC, those who cannot for whatever reason will be able to get a recovery cert from their local GP.

The Government's messaging around indoor dining is in chaos after a third clarification was sent out in eight hours.

At 8am today, Arts Minister Catherine Martin announced that if a person has recovered from Covid-19, they can "apply to your GP" or "apply to a test centre after you've received that positive PCR test and that would be valid for 180 days". A letter from GPs would be valid to enter a restaurant, she added.
