Nova Scotia health officials announced the province's COVID-19 reopening plan on Friday, which involves a five-phase process.

“Our phased plan will allow us to safely enjoy summer with public health measures in place while we work at getting most of our population fully vaccinated,” said Premier Iain Rankin. “Then we should be able to further ease restrictions in the fall and ease in to a new normal of living with COVID-19.”

Phase one of Nova Scotia's reopening plan is set to begin June 2. In this phase, the key changes to restrictions will include reopening of some businesses, outdoor visits at long-term care facilities will be permitted, and outdoor gathering limits will increase. Restrictions that are expected to ease effective 8 a.m. on June 2 when Nova Scotia enters phase one of their reopening plan include:

Wedding and funeral ceremonies remain limited to five plus officiants indoors but can increase to 10 plus officiants outdoors; there can be no receptions or visitations. Residents of long-term care facilities can have visitors outdoors; visitors must wear masks but no physical distance is required if the resident is fully vaccinated.

More people can get exceptions to enter Nova Scotia for end-of-life visits with immediate family members.

5 phases? What kind of retardedness is this. You don't have a clue. And shove your vaccines. People have clued in, thankfully, and nobody is getting them anymore. At least not the smart people. The 'BERT AND ERNIE' SHOW!

Hardly a plan…
