Covid restrictions tightened in connection with New Year’s celebrations

The Covid-restrictions imposed by the government have been temporarily tightened in view of the upcoming New Year’s celebrations.

As of December 29, a maximum of 50 people will be allowed at indoor events, parties and New Year’s celebrations.

Only people with completed primary vaccination or those who have undergone Covid in the last 6 months will be allowed in restaurants, dance clubs and casinos with a maximum of four people at one table, unless they are from the same household. In the event of longer tables that can accommodate ten or more guests, they must still be placed in groups of four at least 1.5 metres apart.

Cultural events at which people are sitting will be limited to 1,000 people, but events where people mingle must not exceed 100 participants. The restrictions will remain in force until January 2.

The rule that bars and restaurants must close by 10 pm no longer applies, nor does the ban on drinking in public places.
