Family and friends bubble

Continue to keep gatherings as small as possible, especially if you have a vulnerable person in your family or have a child that attends daycare. Large gatherings are discouraged.

Outdoor gatherings with physical distancing of 50 or fewer
Outdoor public gatherings with physical distancing of 50 or fewer will be allowed on May 29, 2020. The limit on gatherings will be reviewed on a regular basis according to risk based on the evolution of the situation in New Brunswick.

Swimming pools, saunas, waterparks
Swimming pools, saunas, waterparks and other similar venues may open if they can respect physical distancing measures. They will also be subject to the COVID-19 general guidance.
