Following an increase in coronavirus (COVID-19) cases, additional restrictions have been introduced for people living in Northern Ireland. These new restrictions have been put in place to help reduce the spread of coronavirus and to help manage the pressures on our health and social care system. This page will be updated with detailed information as it becomes available.<\/strong>

The regulations were introduced\u00a0on 16 October 2020 and will be in place for four weeks.

The regulations are available on the Department of Health website:
Health protection coronavirus restrictions regulations<\/a>

Some of the restrictions will be in law through regulation, while others will be in guidance.\u00a0

Everyone is legally required to comply with the regulations.

Everyone has their part to play in stopping the spread of the virus in the community by:
limiting\u00a0contact with others
regular hand washing
wearing of\u00a0face coverings<\/a>
good social distancing

If you display any coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms,\u00a0self-isolate<\/a>\u00a0straight away and book a test.

A summary guide\u00a0outlining the restrictions is available to download at this link:
