Public health measures update
The Province’s newly announced Roadmap to Reopen is a three-step plan to safely and cautiously reopen the province and gradually lift public health measures based on the provincewide vaccination rate and improvements in key public health and health care indicators.
Both the Provincial declaration of emergency and the stay-at-home order remain in place until at least June 2, 2021. The stay-at-home order requires everyone to remain at home with exceptions for essential purposes, such as going to the grocery store or pharmacy, accessing health care services, for exercise or for essential work.
