Ontario shared more information today about how residents can expand their social bubbles. The province is allowing social circles of no more than 10 people. New rules took effect across the province today doubling the number of people who can assemble at once from five to 10.
Premier Doug Ford says this means you can now hug and come in close contact with loved ones.
Ford says social circles will allow family and friends to reunite safely.
Ontarians who wish to form a safe social circle should follow these five simple steps:
-
Start with your current circle: the people you live with or who regularly come into your household;
-
If your current circle is under 10 people, you can add members to your circle, including those from another household, family members or friends;
-
Get agreement from everyone that they will join the circle;
-
Keep your social circle safe. Maintain physical distancing with anyone outside of your circle; and
-
Be true to your circle. No one should be part of more than one circle.
