All worship services and community and social events remain suspended, along with high-intensity group fitness, such as interval training, hot yoga and spin classes.
The latest order includes an exemption for drive-thru events like light festivals and drop-off toy drives.
Henry says 2,020 new cases of the illness have been detected since Friday, with 35 more deaths, pushing the death toll to 527.
The province's COVID-19 restrictions were updated late last week and suspended all indoor and outdoor sports for people 19 and over.
