Another important change to the SOE regulations is that the maximum number
of persons allowed to congregate at social gatherings has been increased
from 40 to 100.
It's just in time for all those primary school and high school
graduations planned for June, but, face masks and social distancing
rules must be strictly observed.
Here are the AG's comments on that change:
Hon. Michael Peyrefitte, Attorney General
"For the purpose of preventing COVID 19, no person may host or attend any
of the following social activities with more than 100 persons. 100 persons
now is the limit, remember it was 25, then 40, now it's 100, which included
persons from outside of the immediate household of the house occupant.
Before we use to have a little party with only who live there, now you can
invite people to your private home, have a party there, which your music
and everything and you can even invite people from outside of the house who
don't live there, no more than 100. I don't know how 100 people could fit
in a house, if you have a mansion that can hold 100 people, then more power
to you but I would advise people, to not attend any party that have 100
people if your house is the size of my house because you then you will the
mix up and blend up and you will be running the risk of getting COVID 19.
However, you can do it. A wedding of 100 people, you are now allowed to
have a 100 people which, this is to the chagrin of a lot of men who were
using the excuse of we only can have 5 people so we can't get married. Now
you have no excuse, you could get married. You can have a banquet, a ball
or a reception, if you a wedding, then naturally you have a reception, for
some funerals, people have wakes where they gather at a house and
socialize, no more than 100 people but you can do that now. You can go to a
social event, I guess if you have certain bashes or whatever or people that
a little - people could even have a concert if you want have a concert but
you will have to accept that it will be less than 100 people. You can have
an outdoor event, once you get permission you can do it but it has to be
less than 100 people."
