Be Responsible. Be Safe.
Revised Roadmap
for Reopening Ireland
COVID-19 is still having a major impact on Ireland. However, the expert advice is
that progress on suppressing the virus, due to the huge effort of our citizens, means
we can now bring forward our reopening roadmap.
As we continue to reopen the country, every step will be
guided by scientific evidence and public health advice. It’s
really important to remember now, as things open up further,
that personal responsibility and your own judgement are
more important than ever.  

We all have to continue to do everything possible to avoid
the virus spreading.
By working together we have saved lives and limited the
impact of the disease on society. Continuing to adhere to
public health advice will determine whether we continue to
move forward to the remaining phases.

Here are four things you should know:

Public Health Advice
Wash your hands
Practice good cough & sneeze
etiquette
Stay 2m away from others

Limiting our social
interactions is crucial to
preventing the spread of the
virus. We must continue to
act responsibly and work
together.
