OTTAWA - The Public Health Agency of Canada says people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can have dinner together inside someone's house without having to keep their distance or wear a mask.
It released the information after facing days of questions about what those who are double-dosed can do as the country's vaccine campaign ramps up.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says 26 per cent of Canadians eligible for a vaccine against COVID-19 are fully vaccinated, with more than 76 per cent of people having received a single shot.
Canada's chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam says her provincial colleagues want residents to follow the advice being provided by local medical officials, as it's more responsive to the situation in their communities.
The agency released a chart following the briefing that laid out what people can do if they are fully or partially vaccinated.
It says someone who is meeting people who are double-dosed while gathering in a small group outside doesn't need to physical distance or wear a mask, regardless of vaccination status.
