The Government's Resilience and Recovery 2020-2021, the Plan for Living with COVID-19, reflects a cross-government approach to managing the pandemic for the coming months.  This Plan sets out how the balance between public health, economic and social aspects of living with COVID-19 will operate in the short to medium term.  It brings greater certainty so that society and business can move forward.

While most of the country is now at Level 2 of the Roadmap, the Government has decided that the entire counties of Dublin and Donegal will be placed on Level 3 of the Framework for Restrictive Measures and remain at Level 3 for a period after which the situation will be reviewed by the Government.

All businesses and employers continue to be obliged to implement and observe the Return to Work Safety Protocol to protect their employees, visitors and customers.  The Health and Safety Authority is responsible for the implementation of the Protocol which is available at https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/22829a-return-to-work-safely-protocol/.
