As the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit’s (SMDHU) medical region prepares to move into the Grey-Lockdown zone as of Monday at 12:01 AM, the Health Unit’s Medical Officer of Health Dr. Charles Gardner says it’s happening in hopes it stops the spread of variants of concern locally.
SMDHU is one of the nine public health regions seeing a change in its provincial colour level as of Monday and one of two moving into the Grey zone, with the other being the Thunder Bay District Health Unit.
COVID-19 variants of concern make up over 60 per cent of coronavirus cases in Simcoe Muskoka, concerning the region s top doctor and prompting him to recommend the move back to the grey-lockdown zone of the province s reopening framework.
