The government continues to follow its plan to review and monitor the control of the virus and follow the prevailing public health advice in support of a safe and gradual reopening, in line with Recovery and Resilience: The Path Ahead.

Indoor activities, such as organised events including summer camps, group training, exercise and dance are not currently permitted but the Government is keeping all matters under constant review and will make further decisions in relation to indoor activities in due course following updated health advice, consideration and consultation with relevant sectors.

The Government recognises that this is a difficult decision for many sectors, and particularly for so many businesses which had believed they would be able to open this week.
