We'll keep the list updated as we hear

Leo Varadkar took to address the nation earlier today, making it clear that The Government's plan on keeping COVID-19 at bay is to keep the country on lockdown for the next two weeks.

In what first felt like a bad B-movie with a meagre budget and horrible acting, has quickly escalated into a Hollywood blockbuster movie - and we're all the stars of the saga. Following Taoiseach Leo Varadkar's statement earlier today, all schools and colleges are to close from today until Sunday, March 29. Another measure to be introduced will be the cancellation of all events of over 100 people indoors, and outdoor events of more than 500 people. Closed venues will be on the cards across the country.
