New rules take effect, capping outdoor gatherings at 30 people
New rules on gatherings in public spaces, approved on Friday, have taken effect at 2 p.m.
According to the new rules, gatherings in outdoor spaces are capped at 30 people.
In indoor spaces smaller than 80 square meters (860 square feet), gatherings are capped at 10 people. In larger spaces, 20 people are allowed.
In any place that is not a house of worship or a restaurant, larger gatherings are allowed, as long as there is no more than one person per 7 square meters (75 square feet).
Those are the rules for all public spaces that have not been forced to close down.
