The decision by the Government today to keep the whole country at COVID-19 red is the correct call at this time.
Nurses Society director David Wills says any further relaxation of the COVID-19 public health measures now would be ill-advised.
"Aside from anything else the health system remains under great pressure from the current outbreak."
Moreover, the pandemic is far from over.
With restrictions already being relaxed, winter approaching - more COVID-19 cases, new variants and outbreaks of influenza - now is not the time to move settings down.
Calls from some business quarters for a relaxation of measures should be ignored.
