Newfoundland and Labrador officially enters Step 1 of reopening plan

Newfoundland and Labrador reach Step 1 of its Together Again plan today, meaning that restaurants can open at 75% capacity with physical distancing maintained between patrons seated at adjacent tables. Retail stores continue to operate without capacity restrictions so long as physical distancing can be maintained between patrons.

Outdoor gatherings are now permitted up to 250 people and indoor gatherings may include up to 200 attendees (or 75% of capacity with physical distancing, whichever is less). Masks are still required to be worn in indoor public spaces and physical distancing measures will also be retained.
