More people will now be allowed to attend wedding and funeral ceremonies.
The Ford government has announced that it will increase the number of people permitted at indoor wedding and funeral ceremonies to up to 30 per cent of a venue’s capacity.
However, attendees are being advised to wear a mask and still practice physical distancing at all times.
The province will also allow up to 50 people to attend outdoors weddings and funerals, but there will still be a limit of 10 people at wedding and funeral “receptions”.
“With recent progress to reduce the spread of COVID-19, we are able to ease restrictions on these special ceremonies,” said Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “We have taken deliberate steps to increase testing and increase our ability to track and contain this virus. As we loosen these measures, I strongly urge everyone to remain careful and cautious as we are all still at risk.”
