The Cabinet sub-committee on Covid-19 will meet this evening to assess how and when the Government should ease Level 5 restrictions, ahead of a full and decisive Cabinet meeting tomorrow lunchtime.
The sub-committee members, who include the three coalition leaders as well as the Ministers for Finance, Public Expenditure and Health, are expected to consider the latest recommendation from the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) which met yesterday.
The proposals from NPHET will be considered alongside other health and economic statistics provided by the Health Service Executive, EY consulting and analysis supplied by the Central Statistics Office and other Government departments.
