Zone 1 (Moncton) has moved to orange phase restrictions. Here’s what you need to know:
Rules about bubbles are the same as the red phase, plus the addition of the ‘steady 10.’
Your household bubble can have a total of 10 additional close contacts. Bear in mind, that does not mean 10 per person.
Masks are mandatory in all indoor spaces and outdoors if you can’t physically distance.
Outdoor gatherings hosted by a business/organization that has a COVID-19 operational plan with physical distancing and 50 people or fewer are allowed.
Informal gatherings (inside or out) are permitted only with your household and members of your ‘steady 10.’
In-person religious services are limited to 50 people or less depending on the size of the venue. 2m of physical distancing is mandatory in these venues and everyone must wear a mask. Singing is still not allowed.
Other indoor religious observances, funerals, celebrations of life, marriage ceremonies, receptions and social gatherings are allowed only if they are 25 people or less.
Non-urgent medical procedures and elective surgeries are back on.
Restaurants can reopen their dining rooms, as long as they enforce that all patrons are following COVID-19 guidelines. You may only sit with your household bubble or with members of your ‘steady 10.’
Remember to wear a mask if going through a drive-thru, as most windows are within 2 meters of the vehicle.
Barbers, hair stylists, and spas may reopen as long as COVID-19 protocols are followed.
Gym and fitness facilities are also allowed to reopen. Be advised that the Mount Allison fitness centre is open to students, faculty, and staff only.
Entertainment venues, including movie theatres, casinos, and live music halls may also start up again as long as there are under 50 people on the premises. Similarly to faith venues, this depends on the size of the venue. Physical distancing must be maintained.
Campgrounds, ATV, and snowmobile trails are permitted.
