Inspectors will again be checking if pubs and other hospitality businesses are following government guidelines this weekend.
Digital Covid Certs are still required for all indoor premises amid reports from NPHET that many spots still aren't checking for the passes.
Dr Tony Holohan said Amárach research data has shown that one in four people who attended hospitality venues last weekend were not asked for their Covid cert.
And the Chief Medical Officer is urging people to follow the basic rules when heading out this weekend.
Under hospitality guidelines, you still have to drink or eat while sitting at a table and you must give contact tracing information for your group upon entry.
A maximum of 10 people aged 18 and over are allowed per table. The maximum number allowed per table including children aged under 18 is 15 people.
In addition:
- You should wear a face covering when you are not sitting at your table
- There are no time limits on sittings
- You can order or collect food or drink at a service counter or bar, but you cannot sit or eat there
- If you do not have proof of vaccination or recovery, or you cannot show that the proof you have belongs to you, the bar or restaurant should refuse admission
- One member of your group must give their details to the pub or restaurant for contact tracing
- Multiple table bookings are allowed
- If you do not have proof of immunity, you can sit in an outdoor section of the pub or restaurant
