The national committee for Covid-19 decided on allowing cinemas and theatres in Lebanon to operate at 50% capacity until 11 PM from May 23, the first time such institutions can reopen since the health pandemic caused their closure in March 2020.
In addition, weddings, conferences and exhibitions will be able to take place allowing a maximum of 100 people, providing the space does not exceed 50% capacity.
At present only restaurants with outdoor seating are able to open until 12:30 PM., but the new rules will also enable indoor restaurants to open until 11 PM but with bookings at half the room’s capacity.
Rooftop restaurants can also open until 12:30 AM.
There was no decision yet from the committee on the reopening of nightclubs, which have suffered from repeated closures and only a brief reopening period over the December and New Year holiday.
