Postcode restrictions extended to whole of Northern Ireland
As new cases of coronavirus rise, the Executive has decided that restrictions which apply to certain postcodes in Northern Ireland will be extended across the country from 6 pm on 22 September. The restrictions are:
- No mixing of households in private dwellings, with exemptions for: bubbling with one other household; caring responsibilities including childcare; essential maintenance; supported living arrangements; visits required for legal or medical purposes; or marriage or civil partnerships where one partner is terminally ill.
- No more than six people to gather in a private garden from no more than two households. Children aged 12 and under from those two households are discounted from this total.
