The North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit will not be joining the other 27 Public Health Regions that are leaving shutdown.
The province shared today that our area, along with Toronto Public Health, Peel Public Health, and York Region Public Health, will remain in the shutdown until at least February 22nd.
The Stay-at-Home order and all existing public health and workplace safety measures will continue to be in place.
“The health and safety of Ontarians remains our number one priority. While we are cautiously and gradually transitioning some regions out of shutdown, with the risk of new variants this is not a reopening or a return to normal,” said Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “Until vaccines are widely available, It remains critical that all individuals and families continue to adhere to public health measures and stay home as much as possible to protect themselves, their loved ones and their communities.”
