MOH okay with more businesses reopening

She has said several times that our area is at a different stage of the coronavirus pandemic than most of the province.  Yet the Porcupine Health Unit’s medical officer of health says she’s okay with more retail establishments opening over the next several days — under conditions.

Dr. Lianne Catton says as long as all the precautions that we’ve come to know are taken, she’s okay with it.

“Most of it is still curbside pick-up and many requirements are in place in order to ensure that we have limited potential exposure,” says the MOH.

Catton says she’s still asking anyone who’s ill with COVID-19 or anything else to stay home.  And she continues to emphasize the measures to prevent spreading the virus.
