The Government wants to maintain the current hospitality restrictions for at least two more weeks to make sure there hasn’t been a significant rise in coronavirus infections over Easter.

The Committee of Experts will meet on Tuesday to present the proposal which will be debated on Wednesday by the Social Dialogue Board, but in principle the idea is to lift the extra restrictions for Easter and maintain the rest.

Customers won’t be able to eat or drink inside bars and restaurants and terraces will close at 17:00, but the perimeter closure will end next week so travel restrictions will be eased and the Government may relax the restrictions for sports.
