Public Health [Covid-19 Emergency Powers] [Phased Re-Opening] Regulations 2021 Large Group Exemption:

Bermuda Day Half Marathon Derby

Now, therefore, the Minister grants an exemption under section 5 [5] of those Regulations to Dr Gina Tucker permitting a group of more than 10 persons to assemble Friday, May 28, 2021, between 7:00 am and 8:45 am at King Square, St. George’s Parish with the following conditions:
