Question:
To ask the Minister of Health when he will bring forward proposals to the Executive concerning further COVID-19 public health restrictions.

Answer:

I have brought forward proposals to the Executive on a number of occasions, including the meeting of Thursday 19 November 2020. Any proposals brought to the Executive meeting are guided by the advice from Chief Medical Officer and Chief Scientific Advisor and reflect the current position and modelling of the pandemic. Any proposed restrictions are to manage the increased pressure on our health services during the current pandemic, protect the elderly and the vulnerable and allow other essential services to be maintained.
