Govt due to announce new rules later today

Wednesday, 23 June 2021 04:30

The government is meeting today to discuss the further easing of restrictions as the vaccination programme continues.

It’s expected the government will announce entry restrictions for travellers will be eased by the end of the month, a loosening of the need to wear masks, more people at a table in a restaurant and night clubs will be allowed to re-open. 

The health minister Alain Berset has already hinted the need to wear masks in shops will stay. 

Any changes revealed later today will take effect at the end of the month.
