B.C. has no restrictions on indoor or outdoor in-person gatherings, but some health regions in the province — areas with lower vaccination rates — have rules for gatherings. But as it stands, the rules that apply across the province could hurt the Christmas style of Albertans.

Changes to existing public health rules are the most severe response Saskatchewan has seen since the spring to combat the spread of the virus. Throughout the pandemic, Atlantic Canada has been notoriously strict with its rules, including closing borders and severely restricting foreign access to create a „bubble“ around Eastern Canada. There are no rules for private gatherings in Saskatchewan, but it is suggested to keep gatherings restricted and create a list of participants to facilitate contact tracing. In Nunavut, indoor gatherings are allowed in a home that can accommodate up to 15 people plus the host household. The exception is Pond Inlet, where the rule is 10 or more households. Nunavut also maintains travel restrictions and quarantine rules for people returning or arriving from the province.

All people 12 years of age and older must be fully vaccinated to hold face-to-face gatherings, and these are limited to five visitors or another household. Public health rules introduced late last month are working, Moe added. „Rates of this highly transmissible virus are expected to increase in the same manner as in other jurisdictions in Canada and the rest of the world,“ Pritchard said in Tuesday`s update.

A confusing mite, says Manitoba: „Households are limited to guests from another household if an unvaccinated person (who can be vaccinated) is present on the property (even if the unvaccinated person lives there).“ Those who are not vaccinated cannot have gatherings outside their household. The Saskatchewan NDP has also called on the government to ask the military for help in spreading the novel coronavirus in long-term care homes. „Omicron is certainly more transmissible, but what impact will it have on our population in terms of hospitalization compared to Delta?“ said Shahab.
