TORONTO -- As COVID-19 cases continue to decline in much of the country, some Canadian provinces continue to loosen lockdown restrictions and enter their second, third and even fourth phases of reopening the economy.

As of June, more restrictions are being lifted including for day camps and dine-in services at restaurants. Retail stores, gyms, hair salons, barbers and church services are permitted again in some provinces, while other areas of the country consider slowly expanding "household bubbles" and outdoor gatherings.

It’s the beginning of a "new normal" in Canada. But the changes vary as the pandemic's impact differs across the country. Provincial official say they won't move forward with new phases of reopening where the case numbers don't support a loosening of restrictions. Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam warned in May of an increasing "quarantine fatigue" in Canada, saying that "we'll need to pace ourselves" during reopening.

"This is quite a difficult period," Tam said. "Some things are easing up, and there is this exuberance of maybe getting out there. [It] means that people may forget to do all the core public health measures."

CTVNews.ca has compiled a guide on where each province and territory stands in reopening their economies, what will be open and which restrictions will remain in place.
