Restaurants can resume alcohol sales (excluding pubs/bars) and offer buffets (no self-service); child nurseries, elderly homes, exhibition halls, and planetariums will also reopen with specific safety protocols.
Public transport will increase capacity to 70%, group exercising in parks will be permitted with limits, and game machines in malls can reopen with time restrictions.
