The prevalence of the Delta variant may impact the return of indoor hospitality.
A lobby group is calling for clarity on the resumption of indoor hospitality, scheduled for July 5th.
Retail Excellence represents over 300 cafes and coffee-shops, in addition to retailers of all kinds.
The Delta variant, which is between 40% and 60% more transmissable than the Alpha variant of Covid 19, accounts for around 20% of cases in Ireland.
NPHET will convene next week, and issue its recommendation to government on proceeding with the next phase of re-opening, which includes the resumption of indoor dining.
If it proceeds, its means businesses will only have a couple of days to prepare, and if it is delayed, firms may be at the loss of staff and supplies.
Duncan Graham is Managing Director on Retail Excellence Ireland.
He joined Ciara Noble on Friday's edition of Kildare Focus.
