Some health officials say delaying the planned easing of restrictions by three or four weeks could allow a safer re-opening.
As the Irish Examiner reports, Dr Nuala O Connor, clinical lead on Covid-19 for the Irish College of GPs, says delaying the next stage of easing restrictions is the safest option.
“Nobody wants to go backwards, and we don t need to go backwards,” said Dr O Connor.
“I know it is difficult for the people who are in the hospitality industry but if we can hold firm for another three or four weeks just so that we can get more of the population vaccinated, I think we can then open more safely.
