evidence: The Executive has noted the health benefits of social distancing, the economic benefits of sectors and venues re-opening, and the societal benefits this brings. [...] The Executive remains concerned about the spread of the virus and its transmissibility. Therefore, the Executive calls on all venues, customers and attendees to be mindful of this in organising and attending events, and to follow all the public health advice on matters such as hand washing, wearing of face coverings, the benefits of taking lateral flow tests, and the essential need to self-isolate if you have a positive test or are otherwise asked to do so. The virus remains a risk to our health and economic wellbeing and the steps taken today must be seen in that context. [...] The Executive today also agreed the Building Forward – Consolidated Covid Recovery Plan that we will publish tomorrow.
