Province to go Green on July 30
The province is entering the green phase of the COVID-19 recovery plan on Friday, which will remove the remaining COVID-19 restrictions in the province.
As of July 30 at 11:59 p.m., officials said there will be no more limits on gatherings or the number of people allowed in theatres, restaurants, and stores, and that masks will not be required in public.
While mandatory restrictions will be removed, the province said some facilities and businesses may choose to maintain their own policies on protective health measures.
