Masks are mandatory in all indoor public places.

The operator of an indoor public place must ensure that every person who is not wearing a mask is given a reminder to do so as soon as possible.

Masks are not required for children under 5, people with medical conditions that prevent them from safely wearing a mask, or people who cannot put on or remove a mask without assistance, and people who are swimming or acting as a lifeguard.

Masks can be temporarily removed to receive a service that requires removal of the mask, to consume food or drink, or to establish someone's identity.

Masks can be removed when patrons are seated at least two metres from other persons, but must be worn at all times while moving from their seated position within the indoor public place.

Employees can remove their masks if they are in an area that members of the public cannot access, or if they are behind a non-permeable physical barrier.
