According to the official Covid-19 protocols and safety measures, the wearing of a face mask is mandatory for every person when in a public place, excluding a child under the age of six years.
Protocols also state that the attendance of a funeral is limited to 50 persons or less, and attendees should ensure that they are maintaining a distance of one and a half meters from each other at all times.
