COVID-19 measures are still expected to be carried out where all businesses and workplaces will now have a duty to continue to restrict numbers to 1 person per 36 square feet with a limit of up to 50 persons at a time, per location, subject to adequate social distancing protocols being maintained.

The Minister said pre-schools, childcare centres, summer programmes and extra-curricular activities will also be allowed to re-open within the limitations of the social distancing and public health protocols.
