Northern Ireland authorities on Wednesday ordered the closure of pubs and restaurants for four weeks and extended mid-term school holidays to try to control rising coronavirus cases.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is under increasing pressure to impose more stringent measures to cut spiralling rates in England, including a two-week"circuit-breaker" lockdown. Foster announced the closure from Friday of the entire hospitality sector apart from deliveries and takeaways for food. Under previous rules, they could offer table service outside.
The public will be told to avoid"unnecessary travel" and rules on social gatherings will be tightened.
