Northern Ireland will take a phased approach to relaxing lockdown rules, Stormont ministers agreed today. Ministers approved the final version of the much-anticipated strategy at a meeting on Tuesday afternoon, the PA news agency understands. P1 to P3 primary school children will return to school on March 8, and on March 22 secondary school children in key exam years - years 12-14 - will go back to class. Those eligible are urged to book online for appointments at health trust mass vaccination centres, the Department of Health said. More than half a million doses of coronavirus vaccine have been administered in Northern Ireland.
