Businesses in Northern Ireland such as cafes and hair salons are allowed to reopen after some of the Covid-19 restrictions imposed by the Stormont Executive last month ended on Friday.

That will involve the closure of non-essential retail, close-contact services, restaurants, and churches apart from for weddings and funerals.
Schools remain open under the measures.
Ministers have also advised against household gatherings outside of support bubbles, and said people should work from home.
