Talking Retail Grocery and product news for independent retailers
The Northern Ireland Executive is due to discuss the regulations at a key meeting tomorrow (20 January).
Retail NI’s chief executive Glyn Roberts said: “It is good to see progress in tackling Omicron with falling cases and hospital inpatients.
“The Executive needs to outline a roadmap toward the full reopening of our economy and a return to some sort of normality”
“We now need a clear and managed plan to safely remove the Covid-19 restrictions and an immediate move to five days isolation to support our members with staff absences.”
Roberts added that the Executive should work with retailers to manage the return of staff to workplaces.
He said: “This will be a significant challenge and will require extensive planning but will be important to boost footfall for our high streets, reopening our economy and return our society to near as normal.”
