The announcement comes after the venue announced on February 3 that all shows and street entertainment will remain suspended until further notice due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

It said at the time that the decision was “in alignment with recent government authority announcements”.

A vaccination drive was also initiated for all Global Village staff and their families.
