Barbecue park at Rockwell South
Cover The Barbeque park in Rockwell South at Carmelray offers a safe space for people who want to enjoy the outdoors with a small number of peers.

Because of the restrictions brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, many get-togethers have been put on hold. Luckily, there are outdoor areas where it is safe to host small and intimate celebrations—we'll tell you where and how!

Whether we like to admit it or not, personal connection is something that we miss amid the COVID-19 pandemic. While the series of video calls and online messaging make up for the time we spent far from the people we love, it does not beat the time we spent with them physically. 

As the government slowly eases restrictions on mass gatherings, many families and friends decide to meet up one batch at a time. In a guideline released by the World Health Organisation (WHO), there are several factors to consider before attending an intimate gathering, among which are making sure local regulations are being followed and proper physical distancing is possible. 

The setting of the intimate celebration must also be considered carefully. Typically, an ideal area is one that is spacious (for physical distancing) and has fresh, flowing air.
