    Gatherings of up to 25 people will be allowed from May 12, provided they keep at least two meters apart from each other, and indoor events will have a time limit of 3 hours. Suitable disinfectants will also need to be available for events to proceed.

    The first cultural institutions to gradually reopen after 12 May are museums, libraries, the National Archives and private cultural sites such as cinemas or concert halls. The Ministry of Culture and its institutions in co-operation with the Ministry of Health have developed a so-called “sanitary protocol”, which will be made binding on both state and local government and private cultural institutions.

    Museums, libraries and archives will start operating gradually as soon as each institution is fully able to meet the requirements set out in the sanitary protocol.

    Among other notable changes, use of something to cover nose and mouth will be compulsory on public transport, though it need not necessarily be a medical face mask – scarves or handkerchiefs could be used, for example.

    Kindergartens will be able to re-open for five- and six-year olds.

    Leisure and entertainment venues, including restaurants, will be able to open from 07:00 until midnight.

    Non-contact sports training will be permitted, too, subject to regulations.

    Travel and tourism services will also be permitted – but only within the three Baltic states.

    The new rules will come into efffect when the current state of emergency is extended for another four weeks, from May 12.
