The Department of Health has announced limited regulations from today – just an hour before the remaining restrictions were due to expire at midnight. The regulations have emphasized the public will still be required to wear a face mask when entering and being inside an indoor public place. However, this does not apply to children at school. For any indoor and outdoor gatherings, a maximum of 50% of a venue’s capacity may be occupied provided attendees are vaccinated against Covid-19 and produce a valid vaccination certificate.
