They've also agreed close contact rules for children might be eased at the end of September.

NPHET has given the go-ahead for restrictions to ease on Monday, as planned.

That includes the phased return to workplaces, and further relaxation of rules on indoor and outdoor activities.

NPHET also today considered whether guidelines for close contacts can be eased.

They've agreed these rules might be eased for children by the end of this month, and by the end of October for adults.

Over 12,000 pupils are currently absent from school because they've been in contact with a confirmed case.
