Boris Johnson’s approach to ending Covid-19 restrictions in England is reckless and Northern Ireland won’t be following it, NI’s Deputy First Minister Michelle O’Neill has said.
She says: “I would be concerned for the people in England because of the route map set out by Boris Johnson. In my opinion, it’s a reckless approach.”
The PM says he expects face masks will no longer be required and distancing rules scrapped from 19 July, following a review of health data on 12 July.
O’Neill says the Northern Ireland Executive would take its own decisions, adding she hoped ministers could agree future steps at its meeting on Thursday.
She says: “We will probably be able to set out a direction of travel for what the next couple of months will look like, but certainly it will not be everything.”
