Business owners in Northern Ireland are hopeful of a return to normality, as remaining Covid-19 restrictions are set to be lifted later today.
While the law is not formally due to change until 5pm, the announcement of the relaxations, which was made yesterday evening, has already prompted changes to business practices and public behaviour in the region.
The requirement for people to wear face coverings in settings such as shops and on public transport is being removed, while Covid certificates will no longer be needed to gain entry to nightclubs and large indoor unseated events.
Businesses will also no longer be required to undertake coronavirus-linked risk assessments or collect track and trace information from customers.
