“The province-wide orders are about all of us seeing fewer people, having safer workplaces and pausing higher risk activities. The orders on social gatherings and events are to keep our families and friends safe. The best way to do that is to decrease our social interactions and spend as little time as possible with those outside of our immediate household.”
