• alcohol may only be served at on-site consumption premises until 22:00 and may only be sold for off-site consumption between 09:00 and 17:00 from Monday to Thursday;
• the curfew from 22:00 to 04:00, prohibiting movement of people except for work or medical emergencies, remains in place;
• gatherings are still limited to a maximum of 50 people; and
• visits to family and friends are permitted subject to a limit of 10 people.
