The government has decided to increase the number of guests allowed to attend wedding ceremonies considering the current situation in the country.

Accordingly, the maximum number of participants allowed at a wedding will be 50 percent of the seating capacity of the venue or a maximum of 300 persons.

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.
