Ireland is to impose its highest level of coronavirus restrictions on what the country's leader described as probably Europe 's strictest regime. Prime Minister Micheal Martin said the level five measures starting on Wednesday would remain in place for six weeks, and include closing all non-essential shops, restricting restaurants and pubs to take-away only and forbidding people from traveling more than 5 kilometers from their homes. Mr. Martin said that evidence of the gravity of the coronavirus crisis was now impossible to ignore.
“I feel very personally and profoundly the sense of disappointment, the feelings of loneliness,
Perhaps even the despair that this announcement will bring for many.
But I ask you to remember this.
Even as the winter comes in, there is hope and there is light.
If we pull together over the next six weeks,
we would have the opportunity to celebrate Christmas in a meaningful way.”
释义：爱尔兰将实施最高级别的冠状病毒限制措施，该国领导人称这可能是欧洲最严格的制度。爱尔兰总理迈克·马丁表示，从周三开始的五级限制措施将持续六周，包括关闭所有非必需商店，只允许餐馆和酒吧提供外卖，禁止民众离家5公里。马丁称，冠状病毒危机严重性的证据现在是不容忽视的。
“我个人深深感受到，这一决定将给很多人带来失望、孤独、甚至绝望。
但我要求你们记住这一点。
即使冬天来临，还是有希望和光明的。
如果我们在接下来的六个星期里齐心协力，我们就有机会以一种有意义的方式来庆祝圣诞节。”
