The Ontario Government has reduced spectator capacity to 50 per cent of the usual seating capacity or 1,000 people (whichever is less) of certain indoor venues effective Friday.

The decision was a response to Omicron and reduce opportunities for close contact as the province gets as many vaccines into arms as possible according to the release.

The following places are under the effect of the restrictions:

  • Spectator areas of facilities used for sports and recreational fitness activities (e.g., sporting events)

  • Concert venues

  • Theatres

The government and the Chief Medical Officer of Health say they will continue to monitor the data to determine when it is safe to lift capacity limits in these settings.
