Coronavirus (COVID-19) - we all must do it to get through it. Stay safe. Save lives.

Coronavirus recovery plan

Date published: 12 May 2020

The NI Executive has published a phased five-stage coronavirus recovery plan. The document sets out the approach the Executive will take when deciding how to ease coronavirus restrictions in the future. 

    Details

    There are no fixed dates for when any single restriction will be lifted. This is because those decisions in the future will depend on three key things:

    • the most up-to-date medical and scientific advice
    • the ability of our health service to cope
    • the wider impact on our health, society and the economy
