There won’t be any changes to Monaco’s Covid-19 policy until at least mid-December, the Government has announced, while Prince Albert II is set to speak a week before Christmas to announce holiday arrangements.

“We’re not changing anything. The current regulations will stay in place until 18 December,” announced Pierre Dartout, Monaco’s Minister of State, on 27 November.
