Businesses are also being encouraged to keep those stations in place and encourage employees and visitors to wear face masks. Businesses are also being encouraged to have systems in place to safeguard employees against COVID-19.

The new regulations have also dumped the restrictions on public gatherings and religious houses will now be allowed to host services and events at full capacity.
