Stormont ministers are considering further easing of Northern Ireland’s lockdown on Monday. The executive is poised to allow up to six people to gather in an indoor setting. On Saturday, Northern Ireland’s heath trust labs reported no new confirmed cases of coronavirus for the first time since lockdown. While a move to allow six people to gather indoors would allow for multiple people from different households to meet inside, it is set to have some social distancing guidance attached. The suppression of the virus in the region has prompted Stormont ministers to quicken Northern Ireland’s exit out of lockdown.
