The Taoiseach will brief Opposition leaders at Government Buildings later today on the Cabinet's new plan to increase public health restrictions.
For the next three weeks, schools will be closed, except for Leaving Cert students, special schools and special classes. All measures will be reassessed at the end of the month, with an expectation that some, if not all, could be extended into February. Speaking at yesterday's press conference, Minister for Education Norma Foley said she was "very conscious" of the need to deliver the traditional Leaving Certificate in June, adding that the education sector has shown "outstanding generosity and goodwill".
He said the Chief Medical Officer was clear in his letter to the Minister for Health that a full reopening of schools would create "a considerable risk" at a time of very high levels of community transmission.
