As the Deputy will be aware, the NPHET met on 17 February and it has provided advice to Government in relation to remaining public health measures. These measures include the requirements for mask wearing in all settings where currently regulated for under Statutory Instrument as well as public health measures in schools, early learning and care facilities. Government will make a decision on this shortly.
