The government clarified the COVID-19 order on outdoor events, stipulating that the limit of 2,000 people does not apply to outdoor events or activities taking place in an unrestricted area. Due to the high infectivity of the omicron strain of COVID-19, it is advisable to wear a mask outdoors in crowded places. A similar procedure applied in the past, but for the sake of legal clarity, the latest version of the COVID-19 order no. 305 needs to be corrected.

The order stipulates that the limit of 2,000 participants does not apply to public meetings, sports competitions, sports and exercise events, and other public events taking place in an unrestricted area.

If the event or organised activity takes place outdoors in a restricted area, the limit of 2,000 people still applies.

The Government Communication Unit will publish the order and the explanatory memorandum on the website kriis.ee.
