From Today 17th May, Monaco’s curfew will be pushed back another hour and restaurants will be allowed to open until 11 pm under further easing of measures to protect the population against Covid.
The government announced last week that the current health measures will be extended for another two weeks, however, there will be some changes.
The curfew will come into force at 10 pm instead of 9 pm, and dinner service at restaurants has been extended to 11 pm. Similarly, performance halls and casinos will now open until 11 pm.
Restrictions on restaurant clientele have also been slightly eased, with employees of the Principality and members of their immediate family now allowed to eat out in Monaco at both lunch and dinner. This is in addition to Monegasque nationals and residents, students, and hotel clients.
Cafés, snack bars, ice cream parlours and tea houses can now open from 6am to 7pm for table service.
Meanwhile, indoor and outdoor swimming pools can reopen to the public under strict health protocol to be established with the Department of Health Action for each infrastructure.
On the beaches, masks are no longer mandatory however social distancing of at least 1.5 meters between two people not belonging to the same group is required, with a maximum of six people per group.
Relaxing of the health measures is largely due to the government’s vaccination campaign, which has reached 14,860 people, or nearly 40% of the population, residing in the Principality.
