The Cabinet may meet as early as Friday to approve the lifting of Covid restrictions, which is likely to begin next week.
While no meeting has been formally scheduled yet, it is understood that arrangements will be put in place quickly if advice from the National Public Health Emergency Team (Nphet) on Thursday is favourable to a quick reopening.
The Cabinet holds its regular weekly meeting tomorrow, while Nphet is scheduled to meet on Thursday to consider the latest modelling, the situation in hospitals and the prospects for reopening.
If the Nphet advice is favourable towards reopening, the Cabinet could decide on Friday to begin lifting restrictions in the middle of next week, with an announcement to that effect by Taoiseach Micheál Martin following the meeting on Friday evening.
It is expected that the lifting of restrictions could take place on a phased basis, with hospitality opening hours extended from next week, and capacity for cultural and sporting events expanded from the beginning of February.
There is a growing push in Government to bring forward reopening plans from early February to next week if conditions continue to improve. Recent days have seen daily case numbers collapse and the situation in hospitals remains manageable, though busy. Both Mr Martin and Tánaiste Leo Varadkar have made optimistic noises about reopening in recent days.
There were 979 Covid-19 patients in hospital on Tuesday morning, down from 1,006 the previous day.
However, ICU numbers had increased on Monday to 97, the highest level since December 23rd last.
The positivity rate dropped to 45.2 per cent on Monday, down from highs of more than 50 per cent a week ago, although changes to testing rules in the interim make direct comparisons difficult.
On Monday, an additional 9,970 booster vaccines against Covid-19 were administered, giving a total of 2,472,236 booster doses.
HSE chief executive Paul Reid said the booster vaccination programme had given a “window of opportunity” against the Omicron variant of the virus.
“This gave added protection to the vulnerable [and] to all of us to alleviate the effect,” he posted on Twitter. “But it’s still key that everyone comes forward for their boosters. We want to see this through.”
