COVID-19 Recreation & Sport FAQs (06.11.20)

Please find below the updated COVID-19 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) with most recent guidance from Public Health NB. Updated sections have been highlighted and include information on essential workers travelling outside of the Atlantic bubble, updated guidance for close-contact sport and the guidance to conduct active screening when organizations are not able to maintain 2m physical distancing at all times in their activities.

There are currently no regions in the Orange alert level (welcome back to yellow Zone 5!). We have kept the guidance in the FAQs in case any regions are required to follow those restrictions in the future.
