Newfoundland and Labrador is currently at Level 2 of its five-level restrictions regime, which allows gyms to open and 50-per-cent capacity at dine-in restaurants. In early July the province entered the first stage of a restart plan called Together Again, which allows non-essential travel from the rest of Canada.
- Public gatherings: Households in Level 2 can interact with a regular circle of 20 people, and informal gatherings are limited to these “Steady 20s.” Formal gatherings are limited to 100 people with physical distancing.
- Interprovincial travel: New arrivals from other provinces have to submit a travel form in advance. If they’re fully or partly vaccinated, they don’t have to self-isolate on arrival; they get tested on the seventh, eighth or ninth day of self-isolation and must stay in isolation until they get a negative result.
- COVID-19 testing: Here is the province’s self-assessment tool.

Prince Edward Island is midway through its Moving Forward plan, which will still involve physical distancing through the summer but allows more freedom to travel to the province, especially for people who’ve had their shots.
- Public gatherings: Personal gatherings of up to 50 are allowed indoors and outdoors, and organized events can have up to 200 indoors or 100 outdoors.
- Interprovincial travel: If you’re fully or partly vaccinated, you can apply for a PEI Pass that will allow you to skip many of the interprovincial travel restrictions, even if you’re not from Atlantic Canada. Unvaccinated people still have to self-isolate for eight days on arrival.
- COVID-19 testing: Here is the province’s self-assessment tool.

- Public gatherings: Outdoor gatherings of up to 50 outdoors and 25 indoors are allowed without masks or distancing.
- Interprovincial travel: Most people from outside Atlantic Canada have to check in before they travel to Nova Scotia, but depending on their vaccination status, they may not have to self-isolate. Here is the full list of rules for all interprovincial travel.

After strict lockdowns in the third wave, B.C. set a four-stage plan to reopen as more of its population is vaccinated, with the goal of lifting all COVID-19 restrictions by September. The third, current stage allows indoor gyms and religious services to operate at capacity, lifts the limits on table groups at restaurants (but still prohibits tables from mingling with each other) and reopened interprovincial recreational travel.
- Public gatherings: No restrictions for private gatherings indoors and outdoors. Organized indoor gatherings can have up to 50 people or 50-per-cent capacity, whichever is more; outdoor organized gatherings can have 5,000 or 50 per cent.
- Interprovincial travel: All cross-province travel is permitted without any self-isolation requirements.

Nunavut doesn’t have a staged reopening plan, but instead reassesses its public-health measures case by case every two weeks.
- Interterritorial travel: Fully vaccinated people can enter Nunavut without restriction; otherwise, they must self-isolate for 14 days before they fly in either Ottawa, Winnipeg, Edmonton or Yellowknife. They can also avoid isolation if they’re coming from a designated “common travel area” such as the Northwest Territories or Churchill, Man.
- COVID-19 testing: If you have COVID-19 symptoms, call 1-888-975-8601 from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. or contact your local health centre.

As in Nunavut, the territory’s Emerging Wisely plan doesn’t have phases; instead, it gives a fluid list of risk-reduction advice and estimated dates for when gathering limits, self-isolation requirements and permitted indoor activities will change.
- Public gatherings: Indoor and outdoor gatherings of up to 200 are allowed, and event organizers can apply for an exemption if they expect more people.
- Interterritorial travel: Leisure travel to the Northwest Territories is prohibited. Fully vaccinated people can come for work or family reasons without having to self-isolate; for partly vaccinated people, isolation is a minimum of eight days plus a negative COVID-19 test, and for unvaccinated people, it’s 10 days.
