DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ireland's prime minister told citizens to stay home until April 12 to help slow the spread of coronavirus, only leaving to shop for groceries, for brief individual physical exercise or to make family visits that are absolutely essential.
Almost all shops will be shut, all public gatherings outside of family units prohibited completely, and those over the age of 70 or with chronic diseases will be told to stay in their homes completely for the period, Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said.
