Winter Action Plan
The province entered Level 1 of the COVID-19 alert system outlined in the Winter Action Plan over the weekend.
It is a three-level system, with the current level the least restrictive, according to the province.
Measures under the current level include masking outdoors when physical distancing cannot be maintained and physical distancing in indoor public spaces that don’t require proof of vaccination.
A limit of 20 people are permitted for informal indoor household gatherings, and 50 for informal outdoor gatherings.
Officials say factors such as active cases, rates of positive tests, and hospitalizations will determine a move from one level to another.
