Despite the reticence of the Provincial Government to tighten the COVID-19 restrictions it recently relaxed, a strong statement from Health authorities in Eastern Ontario is urging individuals to practice prudence in their public activities.
The four things to remember: get vaccinated with all the doses you are eligible for, limit your close contacts, wear a mask in indoor public spaces and stay home if you are sick.
Four Medical Officers of Health and 18 hospital chiefs of staff signed the document Thursday.
On Monday afternoon, in a rare public appearance, Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Kieran Moore, appeared to agree, noting that while he was not making masking mandatory once again, he was issuing a statement urging Ontarians to voluntarily wear a mask in indoor public spaces following indications COVID-19 is again on the rise across the Province.
