THIS WEEKEND MARKS the first Saturday and Sunday since six weeks of Level 5 restrictions across the country ended on 1 December.
Many will use the occasion to socialise and see people whom they haven’t been able to meet since October, particularly after the re-opening of pubs and restaurants yesterday.
Others have already used the days since the return to Level 3 on Tuesday to meet people.
However, public health officials are still urging the public to limit their social contacts in order to prevent another rise in cases over the festive period.
Today we’re asking: Has your number of social contacts increased since the end of Level 5 restrictions?
