Junior ministers in the Executive Office, Sinn Fein MLA Declan Kearney and DUP MLA Gordon Lyons, said in a joint statement they would “work in partnership with civic and business leaders.”
Mr Kearney said: “We want maximum community buy-in. That requires a huge societal effort, with everyone playing their part and following the public health advice.”
