The Stormont Executive is due to meet today, for the second time in two days, to discuss possible Covid-19 restrictions.

Yesterday's meeting of the Stormont Executive broke up without agreement.

Ministers had been tasked, with discussing a range of proposals tabled by the Health Minister.

The suggested measures from Robin Swann include tougher working-from-home advice and a new scoring system on Covid compliance.

The executive will reconvene today, in a bid to reach consensus on what action should be taken before Christmas.

It comes as Mr Swann warned yesterday, business closures couldn't be ruled out, if infection rates remain high.
