The provincial government says it will allow barber shops, hair and nail salons in Grey-Lockdown regions to reopen starting April 12 as part of a series of proposed modifications to its COVID-19 framework. The government is also going to permit outdoor fitness classes, outdoor training for team and individual sports and outdoor personal training, with a limit of 10 people, starting Monday. Marinas and boating clubs are also going to be able to operate clubhouses or any restaurant, bar and other food or drink establishment for outdoor dining, also starting March 29.
