LARGE GROUP EXEMPTION

Whereas the Minister of Youth, Culture and Sport considers that Sebastien Maingourd, General Manager and Dirk M.C. Beck, Director of Catering & Sales of Sardis Development Limited, Operating The Loren Hotel at Pink Beach are justifying an exemption from the prohibition in regulation 5(5) of the Public Health (COVID-19 Emergency Powers) (Phased Re-opening) Regulations 2021 on groups of more than 50 persons assembling;

Now therefore, the Minister grants an exemption under regulation 5(5) of those Regulations to Sardis Development Limited at The Loren Hotel at Pink Beach, 116 South Road, Smith, HS01, Bermuda, permitting gatherings of persons above the permitted number per Annex 1 to assemble for the purposes of The Loren at Pink Beach Trusted Establishment Events held between 27th July 2021 and 26th November 2021 on The Loren at Pink Beach premises at any hour of the day, subject to the standard large group conditions below:
