MASKS could be a thing of the past for fully vaccinated people as Tanaiste Leo Varadkar hints Ireland may follow the US model.
The US Centers for Disease Control said anyone inoculated might not need a face covering in most settings.
When asked if Ireland will follow suit after the CDC’s guidance, Mr Varadkar said “possibly” and often what it advises, the Government later mimics.
He added it is up to the HPSC to examine, but added: “I wouldn’t be surprised if we adopt their advice, we certainly have done in the past.
“All I’ll say is I’m aware of the CDC advice and it has been a pattern that we tend to adopt similar advice. But bear in mind, the US is ahead of us in terms of their vaccination programme, not much, but they are ahead of us.
