It was also clarified that museums, cinemas and art galleries can continue to operate at a 50-person limit indoors if physical distancing is employed. She said if the group can “understand the specific concerns” relating to live events, it will then be able to “task the health and safety experts in our sector to innovate ways to present live experiences that mitigate these health risks to the satisfaction of the Department of Health and NPHET”.
