New measures come into effect in Northern Ireland, following the end of the two week circuit breaker.
From 11 December, shops, hairdressers, restaurants, places of worship, hotels and other places can re-open. Pubs selling drink only (wet pubs) will remain closed, with additional financial arrangements being put in place.
Under Christmas household ‘bubbling' arrangements from December 23-27, three households will be able to come together in domestic settings, outdoor public spaces and places of worship. One of the households will be able to include their existing household bubble.
