Retail NI CEO Calls for roadmap towards the full reopening of the economy

“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”

“Retail NI also calls upon the Executive to work with the business community to plan for the safe and timely return of public and private sector staff to their offices and workplaces”

“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”
