Tavosich announced that the whole country would move to Level 3 and that steps would be taken to increase compliance.
Michael Martin was speaking at government buildings tonight after the cabinet rejected the recommendation of the National Public Health Emergency Response Team to move to the fifth level.
Taoziech said discussions about moving to Level 5 were focused.
“Last March we were in a different situation and businesses were starting to recover and important public health services were still lagging behind,” he said.
He added that more stringent restrictions would not be forthcoming from many now.

At the heart of the government’s approach is a series of graduated levels, Tavosech said, which aims to respond to new trends in the virus and examine all aspects of the process before implementing them.
The NPET has informed the government that the trends in most parts of the country are very worrying.
“The challenge is for us to respond and be as effective as possible,” he continued.
In his speech, Tavosich said: “We must strengthen our efforts to ensure that the guidelines are followed.

Health Minister Stephen Donnelly said the government should balance public health advice with all other social and economic considerations.
Speaking at a press conference tonight, he said it was important to seek the advice of the NPET before making a decision.

Donnelly said a Garda Savocana is providing additional funding for the implementation of restrictions and a more visible presence.
He was asked what happened in a letter sent by the NPEIT on Thursday, which did not recommend shifting the entire country from Level 3 to Level 3 on Sunday, telling all students to move to Level 5.
One of the reasons the government did not want to go to the fifth level was because it did not believe that the data had changed significantly in those three days due to the severity of the recommendation.
Transport Minister Emon Ryan said the three government party leaders had a two-hour meeting today and another meeting with the cabinet.
He said although the government respects scientific advice, it needs to take into account a number of considerations.
Minister Ryan said the government should see if there is room for level 3 restrictions.

The Minister of Finance said that the impact of the move to the fifth level will have an immediate impact on many, tens of thousands of jobs in our domestic economy.
Pascal Donoho said it depends on the public health guidelines issued this evening to reduce and reduce the prevalence of Kovid-19.
