Dining out, salons, gyms and more: COVID-19 restrictions by province and territory
CTV
With a fourth wave of the pandemic underway, provinces and territories are responding with a variety of restrictions. CTVNews.ca looks at what is and is not allowed in each jurisdiction.
The more contagious Delta variant is putting a damper on reopening plans. Even with nearly 70 per cent of Canada’s total population fully vaccinated, officials are taking cautious steps to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Yukon has lifted all public health measures and plans to address outbreaks as they occur. In the rest of Canada, though, governments have various measures in place to curb the spread of COVID-19. Here’s what you can do in those provinces and territories:
Most restaurant-goers in British Columbia can head to their favourite establishment for indoor or outdoor dining, provided they have received at least one dose of vaccine, but local restrictions may apply. While individual restaurants can decide capacity limits, within fire codes, there are no COVID-19-related capacity restrictions enforced by the province at this time. Patrons must wear masks and maintain physical distancing when not seated. Starting on Oct. 24, patrons will require proof of full vaccination for dining at restaurants.
Albertans are under a fresh state of emergency order with new COVID-19 restrictions that will allow anyone itching for a spot at a restaurant to dine outdoors with up to five others. Indoor dining will be restricted to restaurants that have opted into a provincial program that will require them to ask for proof of vaccination, exemption or a recent negative COVID-19 test.
