Province-wide regulations which became effective beginning on Sunday, December 13, and are now extended until further notice, place a limit on attendance to 15% of the fire code occupancy in churches and places of worship.

Due to this restriction, there can be no more than 46 parishioners in the church at each service. Parishioners must pre-register for the services they wish to attend.
