The District of Coldstream had come under criticism for having some of the strictest lockdowns in the Interior and even prohibited visits to the cemetery.
The district would like to remind the public to maintain a physical distance of at least two metres from others, practice sound hygiene, and that gatherings in excess of 50 people are prohibited.
The district says it may close its parks and public spaces if there is non-compliance.
