Dear employer

The President, last night, reduced the Covid-19 Alert Level to an adjusted Alert Level One.

The President has indicated that the following amended regulations remain applicable:

• funerals may only be attended by a maximum of 100 people and night vigils are not permitted;
• business premises must determine the maximum number of employees permitted on the premises to accommodate a 1.5-meter distance between employees;
• curfew has been reduced to between 24:00 and 04:00;sale of alcohol, on-site and off-site, is permitted until 23:00 subject to licensing requirements;
• non-essential businesses, including restaurants and gyms, must close by 23:00;
• restaurant sit-down service is permitted to a maximum of 750 people indoors and 2000 people outdoors or 50% capacity for smaller venues; and
• every person is compelled to wear a mask in a public space. It is a criminal offence, punishable by a fine or imprisonment, not to do so.

The Department of Health will be rolling out a vaccination certificate which will serve as proof of vaccination and will allow travel and access to venues that require proof of vaccination status.

We will keep members abreast of developments in this regard.
