Q&A: What does the latest Covid announcement mean for me?

There will also be more gardaí at ports and airports and gardaí will be able to turn people coming from Northern Ireland back under new laws. Picture: Denis Minihane.

WHAT CHANGES FROM TODAY?

Not much for those residing in Ireland, the state will remain in level 5 lockdown until at least March 5.
