U.K. allows indoor pints and movie theatres. When will Canada relax COVID-19 rules?

COVID-19 restrictions, such as allowing people to have a pint indoors or take in a football game, experts say Canada may be months away from following suit.And that’s only if vaccination distribution continues to ramp up and people maintain COVID-19 restrictions such as mask-wearing and social distancing, said Raywat Deonandan, an epidemiologist and associate professor at the University of Ottawa.“I think we will have this comfort (seen in the U.K.) by Christmas, like meeting a friend indoors or seeing loved ones without a mask indoors.
