By The FirstHealth officials in Ireland imposed a “midnight hospitality” curfew on pubs, bars, and nightclubs this week to control the spread of COVID-19 despite 93% of the adult population being fully vaccinated against the disease.
“So-called COVID passes (proof of vaccination), which are already required for indoor hospitality, will now also be needed to go to a cinema or theatre. Gyms and hair salons will continue to be exempt from this requirement,” reports Sky News.
