We aren’t quite there yet, but we are getting closer. The province says we are still at 69 percent when it comes to those 18 and over having had their first COVID-19 shot, but those 12 and over are now at the 68 percent mark. Once the 70 percent level is reached for those 18 and over, many restrictions will be lifted July 11. If that 70 percent mark is reached for those 12 and older, the mandatory mask rule and all gathering limits will be lifted.
