A revised reopening plan has been unveiled by Ministers which will see all limits on numbers at religious services, weddings and funerals to be lifted, although the retention of some public health measures will continue until at least February 2022.

Religious ceremonies will now be allowed to proceed without any limits on capacity, but social distancing will still apply.

The Government had hoped to fully lift the vast majority of Covid-19 restrictions from October 22nd but the recent surge in cases has seen these plans amended. Instead, many restrictions will remain in place.

A Covid-19 vaccine certificate will still be required for indoor hospitality and events, while the use of face masks and social distancing will remain in place until 2022.
