First Minister Arlene Foster has said she hopes the Executive will give dates for Covid restrictions on hairdressers and non-essential retail to be lifted at the next meeting of the Executive.
It s after the Economy Minister Diane Dodds put forward papers for further easing of restrictions ahead of an Executive meeting to review them on April 15.
Outdoor retailers including garden centres, car washes and garages can reopen from April 12 and contactless click-and-collect for all non-essential retail can also operate from that date. My colleague, Diane Dodds, has put papers in in relation to the lifting of restrictions in terms of close-contact services, hairdressers, beauticians, for non-essential retail, and I do hope that we will be able to give dates in relation to those issues when we next go to the executive to look at these issues, said Mrs Foster on Tuesday.
