Exceptions to the 50 person rule are being investigated
The government is investigating the possibility of easing the rule that prohibits public gatherings and public events that consist of more than 50 participants. The limit of 50 participants still applies as a general rule. However, two exceptions could be made.
The first concerns restaurants/bars that offer live music. Organising concerts and similar could be made possible.
The second concerns exemptions for certain events that have a seated audience. These two proposals will require organisers to implement measures that enable the audience to maintain distance from each other, and ensure that the event takes place in a completely hygienic manner.
The proposals are now being sent for consultation.
