TORONTO - Officials in many Canadian provinces are tightening anti-pandemic restrictions to keep St. Patrick s Day from becoming a COVID-19 super-spreader event.
Amid worries about a third pandemic wave, health authorities are urging would-be celebrants to be mindful of the risks and obey all limits on social gatherings.
The city of Kingston, Ont., for example, home to Queen s University, has made live music off limits. The order, which is in place until the end of the week, bars all social gatherings of more than five people and, among other things, limits the sale and service of alcohol.
