Northern Health’s regional Public Health Order on Gatherings and Events has been updated. Effective midnight, November 30, 2021, updated measures go into effect for the entire Northern Health region.
Changes to the order reflect the ongoing risk of COVID-19, rates of transmission, and the impact they continue to have on health care resources. But gradual improvement in case counts and hospitalizations are allowing for some increased capacity at gathering and events, for those who are fully vaccinated.
The updated orders will be in effect until at least January 31, 2022, and allow for:
• Up to 10 fully-vaccinated people gathering inside personal residences, and up to 25 outside (increased from 5, and 15)
• Increasing capacity for indoor seated events, including weddings, funerals and theatre and performing arts events, to 50% of capacity venue (increased from 50-person cap) with proof of vaccination
• Increasing outdoor event capacity to 50% (increase from 100-person cap) with proof of vaccination
• Allowing drive-in worship services in addition to virtual services
