The Tánaiste says it's impossible to rule out another level 5 lockdown in January. However, Leo Varadkar says he hopes a post-Christmas move to level 5 would not be as long as the current six-week lockdown. The Tánaiste said the Government would try and keep the plan "as simple as possible" for people to follow. Mr Varadkar said it was the Government's aim to give people as normal a Christmas as possible within public health guidelines. Cinemas, museums, and art galleries are to reopen from December 2 under the Government’s planned exit from level 5 restrictions.
