PUBLIC HEALTH (COVID-19 EMERGENCY POWERS)

(PHASED RE-OPENING) REGULATIONS 2021

LARGE GROUP EXEMPTION

Whereas the Minister of Youth, Culture and Sport considers that Sascha Hemmann, Managing Director of the Rosewood Tuckers Point Hotel Limited is 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 the Rosewood Tuckers Point Hotel Limited, 60 Tucker’s point Drive Hamilton Parish HS02, permitting gatherings of persons above the permitted number per Annex 1 to assemble for the purposes of Rosewood Tuckers Point Trusted Establishment Events held between 6th August 2021 and 5th December 2021 on the Rosewood Tuckers Point Hotel Limited premises at any hour of the day, subject to the standard large group conditions below:
