- Directives for Red Alert Levels as follows: (*note another change since the last communication):
- Indoor sport and recreational facilities, including other similar close contact sport or recreational businesses (pools, gym, fitness facilities, bowling alleys, escape rooms, yoga, dance studios, gymnastics, etc.), are closed.
Only essential travel is recommended in and out of Red level zones. Organized sport is not considered essential travel.
