Stormont ministers have decided that from 27 December hospitality venues in Northern Ireland must only offer table service and no more than six people will be allowed to sit together at a table.
Nightclubs will close from 06:00 GMT on 26 December, there will be a ban on dancing and face masks must be worn in certain settings. A package of measures to support pubs, bars and restaurants has been agreed.
The Stormont executive imposed restrictions in an attempt to stem the rise in the number of coronavirus cases.
