Answer
There is no maximum cap on indoor gatherings, excluding those in private home. The maximum number that can attend is to be decided on a risk assessed basis, ensuring all reasonable measures are put in place to mitigate the risk of transmission of Covid-19. A risk assessment is required for all indoor gatherings of over 15 people.
