New COVID-19 measures come into force today in the Greater Belfast area, Ballymena, and more local postcode areas including BT43, 28 and 29 - taking in parts of Lisburn, Glenavy and Crumlin.
In these parts of Northern Ireland, people from two or more households in these areas are not able to meet in private settings.
There are a number of limited exceptions, including childcare provision and households that have formed a social bubble with another.
No more than six people, from no more than two households, are allowed to meet in private gardens under the new local restrictions.
Across the rest of Northern Ireland, the number of people who can gather indoors in a private home was already reduced from 10 people from four households to six people from two households last month due to a rise in Covid-19 cases.
Up to 15 people can meet outdoors.
From today, indoor soft play areas can now reopen having been one of the last facilities to be allowed to welcome in customers again.
