“Bars, restaurants, bars and cafes will need to close at 6 PM except for takeaway services, and you will not be able to serve alcoholic drinks.

“Indoor entertainment venues such as movie theaters, bingo halls, soft play centers and bowling alleys should be closed on the same date, and indoor attractions such as museums, galleries and heritage sites should be closed to visitors.”
