The Halton Region’s Medical Officer of Health has issued a statement on the province’s new COVID-19 response framework.
The Halton Region is currently in the ‘Yellow (Protect) Category’. Dr. Hamidah Meghani says the level was determined based on data from the week of October 26th. Levels will be confirmed by the province on Friday, November 6th and become effective on Saturday, November 7th at 12:01 a.m..
She adds that “Halton residents and organizations will need to follow the public health measures outlined in the framework.” That includes fitness classes and team sports, meaning Halton will no longer limit sports teams to practice only, and indoor fitness classes will no longer be cancelled under the new framework. That would change should Halton be moved into either the Red or Grey categories.
Dr. Meghani continues to stress limiting close contact to household members, as well as limiting non-essential activities outside of the home.
She thanks everyone for taking the guidelines seriously, and asks everyone to be kind to each other.
