The new schedule is expected to include details of reopening on July 5th of indoor hospitality for pubs and restaurants and the resumption of international travel from July 19th. The State’s public health team last night cleared the way for the expected easing of Covid-19 restrictions throughout the summer. For larger venues such as outdoor stadia or other “fixed” outdoor venues with a minimum capacity of 5,000 this could rise to 200. Smaller indoor venues would be limited to 100 people, it is understood. A potential massive undersupply of the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine will hit the vaccination programme especially hard.
