It also has the following:

The price of a private Covid-19 test is set at a maximum of €110 plus VAT.

Movement over Easter

All events, gatherings organized as part of Easter traditions are prohibited as are any events or gatherings in the surrounding areas of places of worship.

Test for employees

Employers and managers of the businesses listed below must ensure their employees take a coronavirus test by April 28.

Supermarkets, bakeries throughout the supply chain (production, delivery, serving the public)
Old people’s homes
Fruit shops, kiosk, mini-markets, grocers, butchers, fishmongers
They can use the provisions of the scheme for 20,000 workers announced by the ministry and if this is not possible must make arrangements for their employees to take the test, with the business covering the cost.

Operation of businesses

Owners and managers of supermarkets, bakeries, fruit shops, kiosk, mini-markets, grocers, butchers, fishmongers, confectioners, wine cellars and other food and drink production units must supply their employees with masks and gloves for their work.

Employees and suppliers are not allowed to move around these businesses without masks and gloves.

Those retail companies still in operation can extend their opening hours on April 17 and 18 to 8 pm.

All must close on April 19 and 20 (Easter Sunday and Monday) including electronic and telephone sales.
