Public Health Increases Capacity Limits for Formal Gatherings - VOCM

Public Health is increasing capacity limits for formal gatherings and select venues where proof of vaccination is required.

The change is being made as the result of a drop in COVID-19 cases and high vaccination rates across the province.

The changes come into effect as of midnight tonight.

Indoor and outdoor gatherings operated by a recognized business or organization and recreational and arts facilities can operate at full spectator capacity, without physical distancing, provided that proof of vaccination is supplied by all those in attendance who are 12 or older, and that masks are worn.

Eating and drinking is not permitted at the gathering or venue in order to allow full capacity and that physical distancing is maintained in common areas, including line-ups at ticket counters and washrooms.

At this time, there is no change to public health guidance as they relate to the below:

• Participants at arenas, gyms and fitness facilities, including yoga studios, indoor swimming pools, indoor tennis, squash facilities and dance studios;
• Lounges;
• Buffets at restaurants; and
• Wakes and visitation.
