People patiently waited their turn as liquor stores opened after being closed for two months due to the nationwide lockdown.
On Monday June 1, people flocked to local liquor outlets, many observing physical distancing protocols, others not.
Under the regulations, taverns and restaurants are permitted to sell alcohol for home consumption.
Alcohol sales were prohibited under levels 4 and 5 of the nationwide lockdown, but as the nation moved to level 3 the restrictions were eased. But the sale of tobacco remains prohibited. Under level 3 regulations, any venue with a licence can sell alcohol, but only from Monday to Thursday between 9am and 5pm.
