Dr. Janice Fitzgerald, Newfoundland and Labrador's chief medical officer of health, unveiled the provincial government's five-stage plan for relaxing public health restrictions. The only immediate restriction relaxed is the expansion of the household "bubble" — the immediate group people live and interact with under public health restrictions. The Newfoundland and Labrador government Thursday unveiled a five-stage alert system for relaxing public health orders under the COVID-19 pandemic. Level 3 includes further relaxation of public health orders:Private health-care clinics — such as dentistry, optometry and physiotherapy — can reopen. This is not unexpected, and we do have the capacity in our public health and health-care systems to respond," Fitzgerald said.
