Organisers of indoor entertainment are currently working on ways to adapt to the new measures.

Representatives of entertainment venues have called for patience from customers as they adapt to the latest Covid-19 measures. From Tuesday, indoor entertainment venues must operate at half capacity. These measures are set to remain in place until 9 January 2022. Since news of capacity restrictions were announced, many theatre operators have issued updates to customers ahead of performances.
