Huron Country issued the following announcement on Nov. 17.
As the second wave of COVID-19 has reached Ontario and Huron County has been elevated to the Yellow: Protect level in the COVID-19 Response Framework for Keeping Ontario Safe and Open, pandemic fatigue is a real concern. With regional case numbers on the rise, it is now more important than ever for Huron County residents to continue to adhere to local public health directions.
“Rural communities may be experiencing more pandemic fatigue than urban centres because we haven’t seen the same numbers in cases locally,” said Warden Jim Ginn. “But this doesn’t mean we can let our guard down.”
Community members are reminded that the public health safety measures in place are not just about protecting oneself, they are about protecting those in local communities who may be more vulnerable. COVID-19 safety measures are about the common good.
“Everyone needs to take action now. The second wave is here and this is no longer just a big city issue. Let’s keep Huron safe”, adds Warden Jim Ginn.
Community members are cautioned that while local case numbers do not look the same as urban areas, the risk of spread remains the same. Residents are urged to shrink their social bubbles and reduce physical contact with those outside their household.
