The national lockdown is expected to be extended for another two weeks

The national lockdown is expected to be extended for another two weeks for the vast majority of people.

The National Public Health Emergency Team will meet this morning to discuss whether it should be extended beyond May 5th.

But according to the Irish Independent, very little change is likely for the following fortnight.

But over 70s may be allowed to exercise outside their homes once a day and outdoor workers may be able to work.
