This decision was taken in consideration of several matters, including the fact that the country is under alert Level 2 which is meant to revive the economy, amongst other things.
The opening of the public amenities will be undertaken under strict Covid-19 regulations as per Government Gazette which prescribes that all persons visiting beaches, libraries and museums must wear masks or face shields (except when involved in physical activity), maintain social distance and sanitise at all times.
