The Stormont Executive has decided to keep the current restrictions in place until 1 April. They had been due to lapse on 5 March.

Only vulnerable children and those of key workers have been in classrooms since January.It is understood P1-P3 pupils will revert to remote learning for a week on that date - for the week prior to the Easter holidays - to minimise the impact on infection rates of years 12-14 returning.

From 8 March, click and collect will be permitted for shops selling baby equipment, clothing and footwear, and electrical goods. Mrs Foster also said the executive would publish a "decision making framework" for the Executive's exit from lockdown strategy on 1 March. Since Christmas, people in Northern Ireland have only been able to leave home for essential purposes such as work or exercise.

Face coverings in shops and on public transport may be needed well into the future, he warned, and some limited restrictions may be in place long-term.
