From mask mandates to vaccine passports, COVID-19 rules often change from one press conference to the next, making it hard to keep track.

Masks
Face masks are required for people aged eight and older in all indoor settings except for private homes.
They are also mandatory in the following circumstances:
Events with more than 30,000 attendees except when patrons are seated outdoors;
Travelling on public transport, taxis and rideshare services;
At airports and on board commercial flights;
Visiting a hospital or other care facility;
Awaiting the results of a COVID-19 test other than surveillance testing;
International arrivals and aircrew en route to their quarantine location.
Authorities strongly recommend wearing face coverings if people have any symptoms of COVID-19, are meeting with someone who may be vulnerable to the virus, or can’t physically distance.
Exemptions apply for children in grade 2 and under, those with a physical or mental health condition or a disability that makes masking up unsuitable, people communicating with someone deaf or hard of hearing, and couples getting married among others. No medical certificate is needed.
Fines for flouting the rules vary from a few hundred dollars to more than $1000.
