In line with the recent decision of the Government in regard to restrictions applying at present under Level 3, no live or loud music is permitted in restaurants and pubs operating as restaurants.
This restriction is one of an overall “basket” of measures which are intended, collectively, to contribute to lowering risk of transmission in alignment with the risk level at that time. The set of measures, individually, do not comprise a list of activities or places which are equally safe. Rather, they are “baskets” of measures, which are informed by public health understanding of the disease and recognise we can and must prioritise some activities over others.
