Wells said a curfew will be implemented between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.

RT PCR tests will be required for travel to any of the Family Islands from New Providence, Grand Bahama and North and South Eleuthera, including Harbour Island. Wells said this applies to people who are not fully vaccinated.

Funeral or cremation services are no longer permitted indoors. Funerals are now confined to gravesides only.

Additionally, a maximum of 30 people are allowed at funeral and wedding services. However, indoor weddings are permitted.
