Covid-19: Return to office a 'little less likely'

Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe has warned the wide-scale return of workers to the office is now "a little less likely".

With 50 new patients being admitted to hospital every day with Covid-19, the lifting of many restrictions may not go ahead next week.

A return to the workplace, the reopening of nightclubs, easing in numbers attending events, a relaxation of social distancing and the requirement to wear masks outdoors and in private settings, which were all forecast for next week, all look in doubt given the setback in the fight against the pandemic.
