Grand Central hotel manager Stephen Meldrum, St John the Baptist primary school principal Chris Donnelly, Hospitality Ulster chief Colin Neill, and Northern Whig bar manager Gerard Keaney share their thoughts on the new coronavirus restrictions.

Pubs and restaurants will close for four weeks, with the exception of takeaways and deliveries, while schools will close on Monday for two weeks, one of which will cover the half-term break.
