Most Irish people don’t expect life to return to ‘normal’ until next year, according to research from the ESRI.
The survey, examined 800 people, about the easing of Covid-19 restrictions.
It found over seven in 10 participants believe normality – and life without some form of social distancing – won’t resume until June 2021 or later, linking this to the availability of a vaccine.
The proportion of people who believe that life will have returned to normal before the end of 2020 is relatively low – at 28%.
