Public Health (Covid-19 Emergency Powers) (Phased Re-Opening) Regulations 2021 Large Group Exemption

Now, therefore, the Minister grants an exemption under regulation 5(5) of those Regulations to Sharon Hammond of 22 Harrington Sound Road, Smiths FL07, permitting a gathering of 150 persons to assemble for the purposes of the Bank of Butterfield National Olympic Distance Triathlon Championships on September 26th, 2021 at 7:00 am to 11:00 am, at Clearwater Beach and Turtle Bay Beach, Coopers Island Road, St George’s DD03, and on the surrounding roads, subject to the standard large group conditions below.
