Nightclubs can reopen with a limit of 50 people on the dance floor, as long as they can accommodate one person per four square metres. Indoor cinemas can operate at 75% capacity.

Meanwhile, many parts of Canada remain under strict lockdown orders as the first shipment of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is distributed across the country.
