Expanded Bubbles Now Allowed (Dated June 1, 2020)

Effective May 29, people may further expand their double bubbles by up to six people. However, this does not mean you HAVE to invite more people to join your bubble.

We would still encourage you to keep your number of close contacts as low as possible, as this is one of the best ways to reduce your risk of getting COVID-19. A close contact is someone you live with or have been closer than two metres to for periods longer than 15 minutes.

Before determining if, and how, to expand your double bubble, it is best to have a discussion with other members of your existing bubble to decide how, and to whom, your bubble should be extended. Please remember, when you invite others into your bubble, you are also indirectly coming in contact with members of their bubble as well.

We cannot help you decide who should join your bubble, or if you should decide to expand your bubble at all. Please use good judgement for what is best for your personal friends and family based on the guidelines provided.
