On Friday, provincial officials announced Ottawa and the region covered by the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) will move to orange on the five-colour pandemic scale. That means by Tuesday, gyms, restaurants, theatres and personal care services can reopen across all of eastern Ontario. Starting Tuesday, people can also resume outdoor sports such as hockey on rinks where such activities are allowed. Limits of 25 skaters at larger outdoor rinks and 12 at smaller rinks remain in place. Games of shinny hockey will be allowed at outdoor rinks as of Tuesday, subject to capacity limits and physical distancing requirements.
