Decision next week on return to working from home — Taoiseach

Micheál Martin receives letter from National Public Health Emergency Team (Nphet) as Ireland continues to battle a surge in Covid-19 cases

Taoiseach Micheál Martin: The main point of Nphet's advice is to restrict socialisation, to monitor behaviour, and masks should now be worn in outdoor sporting events, in large crowds, and in congregated settings. 

Taoiseach Micheál Martin says a decision will be made early next week on whether to advise people to return to working from home.

Mr Martin was speaking today shortly after he received a letter from the National Public Health Emergency Team (Nphet) as Ireland continues to battle a surge in Covid-19cases.
