Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil and Dr. Strang announced new COVID-19 measures on Tuesday after reporting 37 new cases of the coronavirus in the largest single-day increase since April 23.

All restaurants are closing to in-person dining as of Wednesday, but takeout and delivery can continue, McNeil said. The public gathering limit is now five. Fitness centres, libraries, museums, casinos and similar facilities will be closed. This will be in effect for the next two weeks.

Personal services like hairstylists and estheticians will stay open, but any procedures that require clients to remove masks are no longer allowed.

Health officials say residents should expect stronger enforcement for illegal gatherings, including a $1000 fine for each person at a party. Previously, Halifax police and RCMP have said they only charge the host.
