Ireland is moving to Level 3 restrictions from Tuesday, with a number of exceptions coming into place as Christmas draws closer.

The Government is appealing to the public to reduce in-person contacts, to wash their hands regularly, to keep fresh air circulating in homes, to avoid crowds while shopping and to wear face coverings.

Any visitor to someone else's home should use sanitiser upon arrival. This means people should avoid hugs, kisses and handshakes when they are reunited with friends and family. Warm clothing is advised in the event of outdoor queuing, while public transport capacity will be increased to 50%. These restrictions will ease on that date to allow people to travel around the country for two weeks until 6 January.In terms of international travel, Tánaiste Leo Varadkar advised people to avoid returning home for Christmas but all rules regarding movement restrictions should be followed if the travel is necessary for family reasons.From next Tuesday, museums, galleries and cinemas will also be allowed to reopen with protective measures.

There will be a limit of six people per table but there is no limit to the number of households that they may come from.

Can the government provide the data behind the decisions please, and the ROI - then everyone can review and feel confident they will move in the correct direction, and the new level is not tighter than it should be. Then may be able to trust and have confidence in mehole 👍
