DUBLIN \u2014 Ireland is imposing a six-week lockdown<\/a> to suppress the spread of COVID-19 in what its leader called \u201cEurope\u2019s strictest regime.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Miche\u00e1l Martin announced the move Monday night in a television address to the nation following days of behind-the-scenes discussions with his public health experts.<\/p>\n

Exceptions will be made for supermarkets and other services deemed essential, including meat processing plants that have been a focal point for outbreaks.<\/p>\n

Passenger volumes on buses, trams and trains will be capped at 25 percent capacity.<\/p>\n

The shutdown is expected to throw more than 200,000 people back on to Ireland\u2019s unemployment lines barely weeks after many resumed work. Martin said they would receive emergency pandemic payments of up to \u20ac350 a week.<\/p>\n
