According to the “Business Insider” report, private meetings will be limited to two households and a maximum of five people. Children under the age of 14 are exempt from the regulation.

So more than two households should be allowed, but only if they are direct relatives, as the report says.

According to the report, the states are in favor of keeping it open, while the Foreign Ministry is in favor of closing it.
