Some spectators will be allowed at sports events in Nova Scotia. 
Premier Stephen McNeil announced on Friday indoor gathering limits have been increased to 100 people and outdoor groups can be as large as 150. People are required to follow standard COVID-19 protocols at games and other gatherings but are allowed to be in their normal groups of 10 inside the venues.
Games and events inside public schools are still not allowed to have any spectators. Large facilities that already have approved plans can resume hosting events with multiple groups of 100 that are kept separate with their own entrances and exits and their own washrooms. This was essentially the protocol in the fall.
Centre 200 in Sydney and the Scotiabank Centre in Halifax can have multiple groups of up to 150 because of their size.
The Halifax Mooseheads and Cape Breton Eagles, along with the Charlottetown Islanders, have been playing games against each other without fans since last week but they can now return to similar restrictions that were in place in the fall. There are still no plans at this time to allow games againt the three New Brunswick-based QMJHL teams.
Gyms and other fitness facilities will also be allowed to operate at 75 per cent capacity, up from 50 per cent. The changes take effect on Monday.
There were no new cases in Nova Scotia on Friday and the known active total is now at eight.
