The Government announced that the number of participants of local group tours organised by licensed travel agents under the conditional exemption has been relaxed to not more than 100 persons on condition that at least two-thirds of all participants (including all working staff accompany the local group tours) must have received the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine. The restrictions on the number of passengers on the means of transport of the tours arranged by the travel agents have also been lifted.
