“It’s a big weekend ahead,” says Liz Canavan - with reopenings, opportunities to meet others.

“It’s a big weekend to prove to each other that we can do these things safely. Every contact counts.”

“Think about the people you want to spend Christmas with - what you do NOW, will make a huge difference to that.”

“COVID exploits every chance it gets... any time you meet more people - it raises the risks.”

Canavan asking people to consider everything very carefully.

Outdoors always better than indoors says Canavan, stressing importance of ventilation.

“Disinfecting surfaces and sitting two metres apart - simply isn’t enough to fully protect yourself.”

The latest HSE Briefing kicking off now.

Paul Reid: Everyone being given a lift by loosening of restrictions...

We're looking into winter in three phases of risk: this weekend (restaurants, gastro pubs opening), between next week and 18th (more people meeting), 18th-New Years (risk at its highest - mixing in homes)

Reid makes the point that close contacts in the period up to the 18th could very well "ruin Christmas" for some people. Be careful is the message.
