That means:
- table service only
- there must be one metre between tables
- a maximum of six adults per table
- there can be no multiple table bookings
- masks must be worn when not at the table
The current midnight closing time remains.
There will also be a maximum of 50% capacity at indoor entertainment, cultural, community and sporting events, which must all be fully seated.
In these venues, face masks must be worn at all times unless eating or drinking.
Meanwhile, the requirement for a Covid Pass will be extended to gyms, while household visits will be limited to three households visiting a fourth at any given time.
