Reopening plan
Nova Scotia is gradually easing restrictions. The reopening plan takes a phased approach based on ongoing epidemiology and hospitalizations.
Reopening safely
The reopening plan gradually eases restrictions over 3 phases. Each phase is based on ongoing epidemiology, hospitalizations, employee absences and COVID-19 activity in long-term care facilities. During phase 1, events start again, gathering limits are increased and border restrictions are lifted for domestic travellers. Phase 2 further increases gathering limits. In phase 3, gathering limits and social distancing requirements are lifted.
Nova Scotia starts phase 1 of the reopening plan on 14 February 2022. Until then, all current provincewide restrictions and guidance remain in place.
Moving through the phases
To move through each phase, Government of Nova Scotia looks at epidemiology, hospitalizations, employee absences and COVID-19 activity in long-term care facilities.
