As of today, capacity limits in almost all settings are set at 75 per cent.
There are some exceptions; religious ceremonies where the VaxPass isn’t used are limited to 50 per cent capacity.
As well, gatherings in a person’s home and wakes held outside of a funeral home or place of worship are limited to 25 people.
At restaurants, self-serve buffets are still prohibited.
Dance floors are now permitted, but masks must be worn while dancing.
