Capacity and Standing Restrictions Lifting Tomorrow
On Monday, October 25, more people will be able to come together at organized gatherings and events in parts of the province where vaccination rates are high.
Effective October 25, the provincial health officer order restricting capacity limits to 50% for inside organized events and gatherings will be revised to allow 100% capacity in those settings where the BC Vaccine Card is in place and proof of vaccination status is checked.
In addition, the requirement to remain seated at a table in restaurants and pubs will be lifted. Indoor mask requirements remain in effect for all indoor gatherings and events.
ABLE BC has confirmed directly with the PHO’s team that this will also apply to nightclubs. Patrons will be allowed to stand and mingle in all liquor primaries, including nightclubs. Dancing is still not allowed and masks will be required when standing.
Capacity limits remain in effect where regional orders are in place, including Fraser East and parts of Northern and Interior Health regions.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact ABLE BC: info@ablebc.ca.
