In-Person Shopping Public Health and Safety Requirements |
|
To support the province's economic recovery, the government has updated the Framework to allow for a safer approach to retail.
Limited in-person shopping in Grey-Lockdown zones is permitted with public health and safety measures, such as limiting capacity to 25 per cent in most retail settings.
Employees are not part of the capacity calculation – this applies to members of the public only. For example, if capacity is 10 people, then 50 percent capacity means 5 customers and excludes the number of staff (it does not mean 3 customers and 2 employees).
Grey-Lockdown Level
- In person shopping permitted for all retail, subject to capacity limits of:
- 50% for supermarkets and other stores that primarily sell groceries, convenience stores and pharmacies
- 25% for all other retail, including discount and big box retailers, liquor stores, hardware stores and garden centres
- Staff excluded from capacity limits
- Curbside pick-up and delivery permitted;
- Require store capacity limit to be posted publicly;
- Require businesses and organizations to screen in compliance with any advice, recommendations and instructions issued by the Office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health or other public health official by, among other things:
- Posting signs at all entrances to the premises, in a location visible to the public, that informs individuals on how to screen themselves for COVID-19 prior to entering the premises;
-
Actively screening every person who works at the business or organization before they enter the premises; and
-
Actively screening patrons entering indoor malls;
-
Require individuals to maintain at least two metres of physical distance and wear a face covering, including when attending organized public events and other gatherings, with limited exceptions.
