Stephen Donnelly said the future trajectory of the disease cannot be predicted with certainty.

Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly has reiterated that a return to tighter Covid-19 restrictions cannot be ruled out this winter. 

Mr Donnelly was speaking in the Dáil on a debate to extend the legal framework for imposing restrictions, the sunset clause of the Health Amendments (Covid-19) Act 2021, for three months. It is due to expire on October 9.
