Nova Scotia Easing some COVID-19 Restrictions on Outdoor and Recreational Activities

Friday, May 1, 2020

On May 1, the Province of Nova Scotia announced the easing of some restrictions around outdoor and recreational activities.

Existing public health directives around social distancing and social gatherings remain in place. People must keep two metres apart and not gather in groups of more than five. Everyone must continue to practice good hand-washing and hygiene practices.

However, the province is taking some small steps toward lifting some of the restrictions, including:

For now, beaches, playgrounds, golf courses and campsites will remain closed.

Tourism Nova Scotia will continue to update tourism operators on any changes related to the public health orders on our website at https://tourismns.ca/coronavirus, and through our inTouch newsletter.
