The Halton Region’s Medical Officer of Health has issued a letter to the residents of Halton.
Dr. Hamidah Meghani is urging people to continue following the medical guidelines issued in order to curve the spread of COVID-19 during the second wave.
The letter asks residents to limit close contact to strictly people within your own household. “This means minimizing interactions with people who don’t live in your house, including dining at restaurants and other social gatherings,” says Dr. Meghani.
The letter also addresses the announcements made by the Town of Milton last week, where contact sports were limited to practice-only, and indoor fitness classes were cancelled.
Dr. Meghani concludes by saying, “We all have a choice to make right now – between what we want to do and what we need to do. We still have time to reduce the severity of this second wave, but we need your help to achieve this. We did it before and we can do it again. Thank you to everyone for staying in this together, taking this seriously and above all for being kind to one another. ”
