Coronavirus restrictions: Most entertainment venues to close
Executive publishes guidance as it comes into effect
Bingo halls, bowling alleys and cinemas must close for four weeks as part of the latest Covid-19 restrictions.
Stormont announced the circuit-breaker on Wednesday in a bid to stop the huge spike in community transmission.
But there was confusion over what could continue to operate and what would have to close.
Movie House owner Michael McAdam was among business owners who said on Thursday he did not yet know whether he could open this weekend.
Full guidance was published on Friday evening at 6pm as the new rules came into force.
The guidance clarifies that in addition to the hospitality industry being closed down apart from takeaway and delivery services, most entertainment venues must also shut.
Indoor museums, galleries, bingo halls, bowling alleys, cinemas, amusement arcades, skating rinks and funfairs are not permitted to open.
Outdoor attractions such as country parks can remain open and libraries may provide call and collect services, and access to the internet.
Cookery schools and soft play areas can stay open subject to risk assessment and with safety measures.
Meanwhile, close contact services - such as hairdressers, beauticians, make-up and nails, tattoo and piercing parlours, tanning shops, sports and massage therapy, wellbeing and holistic treatments, and driving instructors - are not permitted to operate.
Workers, builders, tradespeople and other professionals can continue to go into people's houses to carry out work such as repairs, installations and deliveries.
Music lessons and private tutoring are permitted, as long as social distancing is maintained and there is no close contact.
In terms of sport, elite training and competition can continue, both indoors and outdoors, but supporters are not permitted to attend matches.
Places of worship can remain open with measures to ensure social distancing.
There is no restriction on numbers attending acts of worship, but a limit of 15 otherwise applies in places of worship.
For weddings and funerals, ceremonies are limited to 25 people.
