Those guidelines include mandatory masking in all enclosed public spaces, where possible, along with practicing physical distancing and good hand hygiene.

Other guidelines include limits on gatherings. Indoor gatherings remain capped at 50 people and outdoor gatherings can be no larger than 100 people.
