After more than a month with no new cases of Covid-19 detected among the population of Gibraltar, and with the vast majority of residents and cross-border workers vaccinated, the government has announced that staff working in a café, bar, restaurant or other catering establishment will no longer have to wear a mask if they have received both doses of the vaccine.

Masks remain obligatory for members of staff who are not fully vaccinated.

Spot checks will be carried out, so these employees are advised to carry their vaccination cards with them at all times, and any establishment which fails to comply with the mask-wearing rules is at risk of having its operating licence revoked.
