Your full list from the New Brunswick yellow level of recovery.
Subject to the Public Health and WorkSafeNB COVID-19 general guidance, the following activities are allowed:
- Informal indoor gatherings of up to 20 people are permitted, and close contacts should be limited to a consistent list of family and friends.
- Keep uncontrolled outdoor gatherings with physical distancing at 50 people or fewer.
- Occupancy limits in controlled indoor and outdoor settings should remain at a level which allow for physical distancing. Record keeping for participants is required to facilitate contact tracing.
- Sports teams can continue to play, following their operational plan, and tournaments or larger events may be permitted, subject to the approval of a plan.
- Faith venues can continue to be open as long as one metre of distance is maintained, and everyone is wearing a mask. Masks must be worn, and two metres of distance must be in place, for singing to be permitted – otherwise, no singing is allowed.
- Community face masks must be worn in public spaces (including retail businesses, malls, service centres, public transport, etc.) and at unofficial indoor gatherings in New Brunswick. However, community face masks are not a substitute for physical distancing.
- Visitor restrictions are loosened in vulnerable settings with the use of personal protective equipment.
- All types of businesses and activities are allowed to operate under a COVID-19 operational plan. Record keeping for seated venues is a requirement.
- Licensed premises such as a bar or restaurant must ensure all patrons are seated at all times, except to enter and exit the premises and to go to and from washrooms.
- All educational and camp facilities are open under appropriate public health guidance, virtual to be used for at-risk groups.
- Carpooling is permitted but it is important to still take precautions like wearing masks and practising good respiratory etiquette. Drivers should screen potential passengers for signs of illness, and drivers or passengers who are ill or who have been told to self-isolate by Public Health must stay home. Maximize ventilation in the vehicle, and do not recirculate the air. Clean and disinfect all surfaces that may have been touched by the passenger.
- NEW: Face masks are required when accessing goods though a drive-thru window. Masks are to be worn when physical distancing of two-metres or more cannot be maintained. As most drive-thru interactions occur within this two-metre zone, masks are required for workers and any occupants of the vehicle who will be within 2 metres of the drive-thru window.
- Public Transit can operate at full ridership with the continuous use of a mask. Ensure space is available for individuals who require 2m distancing for medical reasons (e.g. immunocompromised and those that can’t wear mask).
