- Avoid unnecessary journeys
- Avoid crowds

"Social distancing is important to help slow the spread of coronavirus. It does this by minimising contact between potentially infected individuals and healthy individuals.

You should:

keep a space of 2 metres (6.5 feet) between you and other people"

https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/coronavirus/protect-yourself-and-others.html

From what I gather, social distancing will continue well into next year, will you stay home even if the payment stops?

[stonethecrows]

Physical distance is only one aspect. Like the others it's not always possible.

Point taken but the HSE recommend it and yet some Taxis are out there potentially running the rick of spreading the pox.

I'm not knocking them for this but the powers that be should have clamped down on this and it would have stopped about 6 million posts on here.

HSE also recommended avoiding crowds and working from home. I'd say taxi drivers have saved thousands of lives by providing a safer alternative to buses, trains and luaseyes. NTA should, however, have advised the use of face coverings and advised those classed as at risk by HSE not to work, IMO.

Maybe we'll get clearer instruction before the PUP runs out. The Minister for Welfare was on the wireless today and she seemed certain that PUP will end on June 8. It seems that those who are not allowed return to work will have to apply for regular Jobseekers payments as applicable.

[Rat Catcher]

Feck it, have to put up with lycra clad kamikaze cyclists, and their broods, jay walkers, joggers for even longer.

They seem to be pulling back on extending the PUP payment beyond the 8th June
If the final payment is on the 8th do you have to wait 7 days or are you good to go from the 9th?

I'd say as soon as they announce its not being extended, lads will go back to work without signing off. Sure might as well, it would only be a couple of weeks.

Thats all very fine--but where are you going to get the work ?

No Tourists--No Corporate --No Leisure--No Residential --just the Hospital work you avoided for last 8 weeks ,why stick your head above parapet before you have too ?

There will be SWFA  !

because the payment will be gone. That's what we are talking about. You definitely won't get a fare sitting at home feeling sorry for yourself.

[mercenary for hire]

The payment is gonna be extended but most likely to certain sectors.
