A spokeswoman said: “Public health measures may include active monitoring or supervision of self-monitoring by public health authorities, or the application of movement restrictions, including isolation and quarantine, when needed to prevent the possible spread of Covid-19 in Bermuda.”• To view the government fact sheet for guidance on religious gatherings. cick on the PDF link under “Related Media”
