NI EXECUTIVE ANNOUNCES LOCKDOWN EXIT PATHWAYS

Today the Northern Ireland Executive has announced its 9 pathways to ease restrictions in Northern Ireland. There are no dates in place but we do know, as previously explained, some non-essential retail can open for click and collect on 8 March with a further review on 16 March.

Engagement with relevant sectors will be a core element of our four-weekly reviews, which will help to support preparations for Covid-19 safe environments.

The first Comprehensive Formal Review will be held on 16 March and subsequent dates are 15 April, 13 May and 10 June.

These should not be viewed as dates on which they will move to lift certain restrictions; rather, they are appropriate dates that have been identified to examine all relevant indicators.

Please do let me know if you require any further information: aodhan.connolly@brc.org.uk
