The Cabinet Committee on COVID-19 was established to assess the social and economic impacts of Covid and oversee the cross-government response.
The Cabinet Committee last met on 28th February. However, Covid continues to be considered at the Cabinet Committee on Health and I meet with the Minister for Health on an ongoing basis to discuss Health matters including Covid.
Over recent months the national response to the Covid pandemic has been shifting focus from an emergency approach to one which is appropriately mainstreamed and targeted at mitigating severe impacts of Covid on the population.
We will continue to closely monitor emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants and assess any potential threat to population health.
