Can anyone throw any light on the current regulations please? Specifically, do bars still have to offer table service only or can punters go to the bar and get drinks, place orders etc?

Some places seem to be doing one thing and others a different thing - what is the correct situation? anyone?

My reading would be bars ar still either High or Medium risk and there all the current regulations still apply

“SafePass axed for supermarkets, kiosks and bakeries from March 8

The SafePass requirement will be lifted from certain businesses while the self-isolation period has been reduced from ten to seven days, Health Minister Michalis Hadjipantelas announced on Thursday as part of further relaxations of coronavirus measures.

Speaking after a meeting with the cabinet, Hadjipantelas announced as of March 8, 2022, a new plan adjusting the SafePass requirements, introduced July last year, will be in force.

The plan will include premises and activities, classified according to risk. There will be four categories, namely high risk, medium risk, low risk and ‘short-stay’ areas where a SafePass will not be required to be displayed.

The new measures continue to provide for different requirements for people depending on whether they have been vaccinated against the virus or not.

Later in the day, the ministry clarified that ‘short-stay’ areas include supermarkets, bakeries, kiosks, pharmacies, takeaways and retail shops of less than 100 square metres.

Other facilities, even though they are listed as low-risk, such as banks, will still need a SafePass either with a 72-hour rapid test or a 72-hour PCR for everyone other than people who have had three jabs.

Broadly, the risk designation correlates with the size/capacity of premises. For example, restaurants, bars and conference halls that can host 150 people and above are classed high risk, while the same types of premises with a capacity of 150 people and under carry the medium-risk designation.

Medium-risk premises include hotels, tourist accommodation, sports grounds, places of worship, gyms, casinos.

For both high and medium-risk categories, the density designation is one person per 1.5 square metres.”
