Covid-19: Nightclubs reopen in Northern Ireland as restrictions ease

Nightclubs in Northern Ireland reopened on Sunday as some remaining coronavirus restrictions imposed last March were lifted. The hospitality sector is expected to be busy on Halloween night, with legal requirements on social distancing also being scrapped. Ministers want people to be sensible and exercise personal responsibility. Customers do not have to wear face coverings when they are eating, drinking or dancing in clubs. First Minister Paul Givan said: 'We ask everyone to keep following the public health advice - the responsibility lies with each of us to protect ourselves, our families and the whole community.'
