The new restrictions also cap public gatherings at either 50 per cent capacity or 150 people, whichever is fewer.

Anyone who's not been fully vaccinated at least 14 days prior to a possible exposure and who has symptoms should get a COVID-19 lab test. They can book an appointment online or call Tele-Care 811, and must isolate while waiting for test results.
It can take up to 14 days to test positive after being exposed to COVID-19, so even if results come back negative, you should continue to self-monitor for any symptoms and get tested immediately if any develop.
