On Friday, July 17 Ontario entered into Stage 3 of the Framework for Reopening Our Province. Nearly all businesses and public spaces will be able to gradually reopen in Stage 3, with public health and workplace safety requirements in place. Indoor gathering limits will be increased to 50 people and outdoor gathering limits to 100 people. Physical distancing remains a requirement for all people who are not from the same household or social circle of up to 10 people.

We have made great progress as a community, but we know that this is not over. As measures are scaled back to promote recovery efforts, it is very important that we continue to stay safe and maintain our progress in flattening the curve.  The best way to reduce transmission of COVID-19 is to continue to be COVIDWise:

W – Wear a mask especially when you are in indoor public spaces

I – Isolate yourself from others when you are sick (and get tested promptly if you have COVID-like symptoms).

S – Stay two metres (six feet) apart from those outside your household.

E – Exercise proper hand hygiene; wash your hands regularly or use sanitizer especially before touching your face.
