• All non-essential workplaces in the construction sector remain closed;
• Capacity limits to 25 per cent in all retail settings where in-store shopping is permitted remain in place. This includes supermarkets, grocery stores, convenience stores, indoor farmers' markets, other stores that primarily sell food and pharmacies;
• All outdoor recreational courts and sports fields, such as golf courses, basketball courts and soccer fields, remain closed; and
• Capacity of weddings, funerals, and religious services, rites or ceremonies are limited to 10 people indoors or outdoors. Social gatherings associated with these services such as receptions are prohibited, except for with members of the same household or one other person from outside that household who lives alone.
