Businesses are allowed to continue operating without capacity restrictions. Some permitted major events, including sports events, can require those attending to present either proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID-19 test result.

Authorities recommend that all individuals wear a protective facemask in public settings. All businesses must enhance sanitation procedures, ensure compliance with social distancing measures, and promote the use of facemasks by employees.

However, certain health protocols and screenings remain in place at airports, including temperature checks, requirements on wearing facemasks, and social distancing. Persons showing symptoms of infection may be subject to a period of quarantine at authorities' discretion.

Authorities could reimpose, extend, further tighten, or otherwise amend any restrictions with little-to-no notice depending on disease activity over the coming weeks.
