Northern Ireland’s regional government lifted the COVID-19 stay-at-home order on Monday, but people are still urged to “stay local” and hospitality venues remain closed.

Under the Northern Ireland Executive’s decision issued earlier this month, all pupils returned to school on Monday for the first time since the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus lockdown began on Jan. 8.
