As of Friday, the number of people allowed to gather is reduced to 100, from 500, the Health Ministry said. Masks will have to be worn in public whenever the 2-meter (6-feet) social distancing rule cannot be enforced.
The tightening, which will apply for two weeks, follows a recent increase in the number of people who have tested positive for the coronavirus on the island.
