New regulations on quarantine measures will come into effect on December 10th.
The changes from previous measures that apply to museums are that, although general crowd restrictions will continue to be based on 10 people, children born in 2005 and later are exempt from that number. This is being based on each quarantine compartment.
Gathering restrictions in effect from December 10, 2020 to January 12, 2021.
- The maximum number of people in the same space is 10 people.
- Provisions on crowd restrictions, proximity restrictions, and mask requirements do not apply to children born in 2005 and later. That said, children born in 2005 and later are not included in the maximum number.
- The proximity limit will be two meters between unrelated parties.
- Where social distancing cannot be maintained, the use of a face mask is mandatory.
- It must be ensured that there is no mixing of individuals between compartments, neither in the entrance/exit, toilet facilities, catering or other services, and that the fullest possible infection control measures are observed.
- Remote work is encouraged where possible.
- Good air quality should be ensured and noise levels should be moderated, as if people have to speak loudly, it can lead to saliva aerosol pollution in the atmosphere where ventilation is not adequate.
- Access to hand sanitizer will be ensured for the public and employees at entrances and near surfaces that many people touch, such as touch screens and cash registers.
- Cleaning and disinfection of surfaces that are touched by many people should be carried out as often as possible.
- The public and employees will be reminded of individual infection prevention measures through markings and signs.
