Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>THE new eased COVID-19 restrictions do not change the wearing of masks at events and gatherings.<\/b><\/p>\n

While Prime Minister Cleopas Sipho Dlamini announced new relaxed COVID-19 restrictions, Emaswati are still advised to wear their masks at all events and gatherings.<\/p>\n

In his speech, he explained that the wearing of face masks in open space was no longer mandatory in groups of not more than five people.<\/p>\n

Large outdoor gatherings shall continue observing social distancing of at least one metre apart and to<\/p>\n

wear face masks. People with flu-like symptoms should not participate in gatherings, whether indoor or outdoor. The entertainment sector includes musical, night clubs and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cRestrictions for entertainment events are lifted; however, attendees should adhere to relevant indoor and outdoor restrictions,\u201d the premier said.<\/p>\n

Dlamini made it clear that indoor events or gatherings should continue with COVID-19 preventive measures such as sanitising.<\/p>\n

Fun lovers took to social media immediately when his speech was shared to express excitement, saying finally they would feel free during outdoor events.<\/p>\n

some said they were looking forward to attending events and festivals. The previous status of the COVID-19 regulations in entertainment sector was that indoor and outdoor, venues could take up to 50 per cent capacity with provisions for proof of vaccinations – if not, only 1 000 people and 2 000 people will be allowed for indoor and outdoor respectively.<\/p>\n

This entails to sports gatherings, conferences and music performances. However, now venues can be filled to the brim as long as fun lovers wear their face masks.<\/p>\n
