The government said the removal of the ban comes after serious consideration by the National Measles Taskforce.
Since the outbreak, which has seen 28 confirmed measles cases, was declared in November, around 459,000 people have been immunised across the country.
The government said while new cases continue to be reported in the Central Division, the number of new cases per week has decreased.
However, it said despite the advisory against gatherings being lifted members of the public are still being urged to take precautions and to make sure they get vaccinated.
