It read: "The option of requiring proof of vaccination instead of requiring distancing is not available in locations at which groceries are retailed." On Dec. 17, the province revised the order to explicitly exclude grocery retailers from the option of asking for proof of vaccination.

All other retail operations that do not sell groceries can still require proof of vaccination — or reduce capacity and ensure social distancing.
