Updated regulations which will list those business that can and cannot reopen from Monday will be signed over the weekend, Minister for Health Simon Harris said on Saturday. The Minister said the regulations meant it would be illegal for businesses to open unless they have permission to do so. People have been really compliant, but technically there will be legal mechanism if businesses open when they should be closed,” he said on Saturday. “It is our biggest national test so far as we have to find a way to live with this virus. Mr Harris said he was encouraged with the way that the numbers of those infected by Covid-19 are going down.
