Newfoundland and Labrador have announced that the province will enter \u201cAlert Level 4\u201d on Monday, which allows the gradual resumption of some activities and business operations, while maintaining certain public health measures to stop the spread of COVID-19.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cPublic Health will carefully monitor each alert level to determine the pace at which restrictions can be relaxed or strengthened,\u201d said the government in a press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoving to another alert level depends on several factors including the number of new cases of COVID-19, an increase in community transmission, and health system capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gatherings and Public Spaces<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In Alert Level 4, the province has announced that gathering for funerals, burials and weddings are expanded to a group of 10 people, as long as physical distancing can be maintained. Visitation and wakes remain prohibited.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe expansion to 10 people does not mean individuals can start throwing parties, holding dinner parties, or arranging large family get-togethers,\u201d the province said.<\/p>\n
