The government of Ireland, one of the most vaccinated countries in the world, reimposed COVID-19-related restrictions, including a midnight curfew as officials explained that it’s meant to stop the spread of the virus.

About 93 percent of the country’s adult population have received a COVID-19 vaccine, according to government data. And about 89.1 percent of people over the age of 12 are vaccinated.
