Stormont ministers have agreed a series of new measures aimed at bolstering adherence to Covid rules.
Ministers met this morning to resume discussions on a range of proposals recommended by Health Minister Robin Swann.
Some revisions to Mr Swann’s original recommendations have been made.
People will be urged to work from home where possible and the Executive has tasked its Covid taskforce to examine issues around enforcement of mask wearing and also look at the potential of setting up a scores-on-the-doors type system to rate businesses on their compliance with rules and mitigations.
Speaking on Twitter, First Minister Paul Givan said:
“The Executive has engaged constructively & agreed a number of measures that will step up our collective efforts against the spread of Covid.
“Whilst there are differences across society on the most effective measures, we can all make a contribution that will help make a difference.”
