There's some good news for anglers and nature lovers.
Hunting, self-drive visits to private or public game reserves and national parks, as well as recreational fishing are among the activities that are being allowed under Level 3 of the national lockdown, the Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries announced.
Minister Barbara Creecy says: “All fishing, including recreational fishing, is permitted with the exception of charter fishing.”
The department said that all fishers must ensure that they had a valid permit, adding that all regulations on physical distancing, health protocols, movement and the prohibition of groups and gatherings applied.
“All the usual protocols with regard to social distancing, hand-sanitising and wearing of masks will apply at all times,” Creecy said.
