This includes the bridal group, band members, and any performing artists.

Further, the space allocation must ensure physical distancing of at least 1 meter between all participants.

The new regulations will be in effect from July 06, according to the Department of Government Information.

The number of guests allowed at a wedding or a social event has been limited to 100 persons due to the COVID-19 outbreak in the country.
