As per the Government of New Brunswick, questions should be posed to the Department of Health. If a participant travelled to a region in the Orange Zone (curren...tly Zone 1 and 5), are they allowed to return to their Organized Sport activities in the Yellow zone? No. Although we understand these residents can attend school by following required guidelines including in relation to mask use, this flexibility does not apply to organized sport. Any participant who travelled to an Orange zone is required to follow Orange zone restrictions and guidelines for 14 days before returning to their activities in the Yellow zone. To be clear, regardless if the participant can wear a mask or not during their activity, they cannot participate in an organized sport activity for 14 days. Here is a link to the zones (Regional Health Authority): https://www.gnb.ca/0051/pdf/2011/HealthZones_map.pdf What do I do if a parent or participant refuses to wear a mask when they are required to? (Yellow zone) New Brunswickers understand that masks work to prevent the spread of disease. We will rely on New Brunswickers to make good decisions to protect themselves and others from COVID-19. However, fines will be imposed on businesses who overtly allow patrons to disregard the mask policy. Operators are responsible for upholding the public health measures to mitigate risk of COVID-19 infection. Operators can refuse entry to individuals who are not adhering to required guidelines, including mask use. Children under two and individuals who are medically-exempt from wearing a mask do not have to. For anyone who self-reports medical exemption from mask use, operators can’t any more questions or for proof of the medical exemption.
