Family Day reminders

The province asked the public to "stay close to home" for the coming Family Day long weekend — non-essential travel is not recommended — and reminded residents to abide by the current public health measures. 

Those who travel will be subject to public health requirements of the jurisdiction they were traveling to and mandatory quarantine upon return from any international trips.

Residents were asked to keep their plans within their immediate household. 

"Take the opportunity to get outdoors for your physical and mental health, even if it means that extra layer of long underwear," the report said. 

Those going outdoors can gather in groups of up to 10 with two meters between household groups. Food is not to be shared between non-household members.
