Public Health says the province’s COVID-19 situation has improved
May 26, 2022
Newfoundland and Labrador’s Health Department is lifting its COVID-19 vaccination requirements for public servants.
The move means provincial government employees won’t need to have both doses of the vaccine as of June 1.
Neither will anyone working in a personal-care home, assisted-living facility or home-care setting. The vaccine regulations are also being lifted for people working in private health clinics, private schools, post-secondary institutions, fire departments, ambulance services and child care.
It’s not clear whether the move applies to health-care workers and teachers.
In a statement Thursday afternoon, the Health Department said “given the current epidemiology of the province, a decision has been made not to extend” the regulations.
The rules — which included health-care workers and teachers at the time — were announced in October and took effect Dec. 17.
