NI Covid reopening plans branded as 'madness' by medics

A Stormont decision to lift coronavirus rules despite mounting pressures on the health service has been branded "complete madness" by medics.

On 31 October, nightclubs are due to reopen in Northern Ireland and social distancing rules that currently limit capacity in bars and restaurants will move from regulation to guidance. "We have 25% of the 18 to 29 group non-vaccinated, 21% of the 30 to 39s, and what do we do with them? We say 'you know what, you can go out, you can eat, you can drink, you can dance, forget about masks, forget about social distancing'.

You'll get an extra bonus payment from the Government this week guys. Doing fantastic work 👌👌

Ultra liberals will be furious that people aren't restricted enough 😅
