View answerOn 27 November the Government agreed the approach for easing restrictions, including a phased move to Level 3 nationally, with a number of exceptions in place for the Christmas period. The exceptions for the Christmas period are designed to support people to have a meaningful Christmas, albeit different to other years. The main objective is to stay safe and keep the COVID-19 numbers down so that we can maintain the lowest possible level of restrictions into the New Year. Currently weddings with up to 25 guests are permitted. Any changes in this regard will be a matter for the Government and subject to ongoing review of the trajectory of the virus.
