Back to SearchNIPISSING & PARRY SOUND, ON - This holiday season, provincial gathering limits allow family and friends to celebrate in person again; however, it is important that all gatherings take public health measures into consideration, and everyone considers the risk to themselves and others before attending a holiday event.
When hosting or attending a gathering it is encouraged that:
- Individuals who feel unwell cancel their plans, stay home and arrange to be tested for COVID-19.
- All guests be vaccinated against COVID-19. Being fully vaccinated is the best protection against contracting and spreading the virus.
- Individuals who are not vaccinated should wear a face covering and physically distance when gathering indoors with people they do not live with.
- Gathering limits of 25 people for an indoor private social gathering are adhered to, or 100 people outdoors.
- Food and drink establishments where dance facilities will be used operate at 25 per cent capacity. In public facilities where dancing is not involved, there is no capacity limit and proof of vaccination is required.
- All individuals wash or sanitize their hands often, including during any handling of gifts.
- Clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces often.
- The host keep a list of guest names and contact information in case it is needed for contact tracing.
