AMENDMENT OF REGULATIONS

Dear employer

Last night, the President downgraded the Covid-19 Alert Level to Level 1.

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

• all indoor and outdoor gatherings, including religious, political and cultural gatherings are permitted, subject to a maximum of 100 people for indoor gatherings and 250 people for outdoor gatherings, provided that no more than 50% of the outdoor venue is occupied, heeding social distancing measures as always;
• night clubs are to remain closed;
• any business premises must determine the maximum number of employees permitted on the premises to accommodate a 1.5-meter distance between employees;
  curfew hours are now 00:00 to 04:00;
• everyone is still compelled to wear a mask in a public space. It is a criminal offence not to do so, punishable by a fine or imprisonment;
• sale of alcohol is permitted during normal licensing hours, except for during the curfew hours; and
• the 20 land borders and 5 airports that are currently open will remain open. Those borders which were closed during Alert Level 3, remain closed.

We will keep members abreast of further developments.
