The spread of coronavirus has not even left the country of Ireland at bay. Northern Ireland’s devolved government is set to command severe Covid-19 restrictions, First Minister Arlene Foster announced after a rapid spread of cases led to the cancellation of elective surgeries across Belfast on Tuesday. The British-run region has become one of Europe’s biggest Covid-19 hotbeds in recent weeks. Its health minister described the situation as getting more grave by the hour last Friday and said further restrictions were likely.

However, the mandatory power-sharing government led by rivals Sinn Fein and the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) have objected in public on how severe any new measures should be and ministers were still meeting late on Tuesday to finalize the response. The measures will be announced in the regional parliament at 0930 GMT on Wednesday, a statement on the parliament’s website said. “Whatever we put in place will only be for a limited period of time so that we can find our way out of the restrictions that have to be put in place,” Foster of the DUP said in a video posted on her Facebook page.

Foster said it was crucial that “long term” school closures were withdrawn. Local media reported that a two-week closure of schools was being considered in what may amount to the toughest constraints anywhere in the United Kingdom. Limitations in Northern Ireland are currently not as severe as many areas elsewhere in the UK or across the open border in Ireland. Northern Ireland’s health department reported 863 new Covid-19 cases on Tuesday and seven more deaths, bringing its cumulative seven-day rate of infections per 100,000 people to 334.1.
