All household visits banned from tomorrow night as the fight against Covid-19 steps up

Cabinet has agreed to ban all household visits nationwide from tomorrow.

It comes as more than 2,300 new cases of Covid-19 were confirmed across the island of Ireland today, setting new daily records in both the Republic & North.

There were 1,217 in the North & 1,095 cases here with seven in Kilkenny & less than five in Carlow.
