Temagami Update #49 on COVID-19
A STAY-AT-HOME ORDER IS IN EFFECT FOR ONTARIO
EMERGENCY
ALERT - Effective Thursday, January 14, 2021 at 12:01 a.m., the
government has issued a stay-at-home order requiring everyone to remain at home
with exceptions for permitted purposes or activities, such as going to the
grocery store or pharmacy, accessing health care services, for exercise or for
work where the work cannot be done remotely. This order and other new and
existing public health restrictions are aimed at limiting people's mobility and
reducing the number of daily contacts with those outside an immediate
household. In addition to limiting
outings for these purposes, all businesses must ensure that any employee who
can work from home, does work from home.
These new
public health measures will help stop the spread of COVID-19 by reducing
concerning levels of mobility as the province continues its vaccine rollout and
ramps up to mass vaccination when the federal government is able to provide the
necessary supply to do so.
