    Health Expert Says New Restrictions Should Last Until At Least Christmas

    One public health expert says the Covid-19 restrictions being announced today need to last up to Christmas and perhaps even beyond that in Dublin.

    1,283 people tested positive for Covid-19 in yesterday’s figures for the Republic of Ireland, a new record for the second day in a row.
    DCU Professor Anthony Staines believes people need to stop obsessing about Christmas and focus more on their health.

    Meanwhile New research from NUI Galway, shows 94 percent of people want to continue to work from home.
    The study shows the number of people who want to work remotely everyday is more than double the findings in a previous survey.
    23 percent of people said they would think about relocating due to the ability to work from home, while 7 per cent have already moved.
