Galway Bay fm Press Room – The Taoiseach has announced two changes that will take effect next Tuesday, May 5, to the restrictions established to protect against the spread of COVID-19.

  • people can travel up to 5 kilometers from home to exercise
  • that those who take refuge can leave their homes to exercise as long as they avoid all contact with other people

Meanwhile, Coronavirus restrictions will begin to ease in two weeks, with the reopening of garden centers, repair shops and construction sites.

The first in a five-stage plan will also see small groups of friends who will be allowed to meet outdoors starting May 18.

It will be July before daycares can reopen for all workers, and cinemas, gyms and nightclubs will be closed until August.

Starting Tuesday, people can exercise up to 5 kilometers from their home and those over 70 can also go out to exercise.

However, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar says that there is still a risk that progress will be lost so far.
