Officials in many Canadian provinces are tightening anti-pandemic restrictions to keep St. Patrick s Day from becoming a COVID-19 super-spreader event.
Amid worries about a third pandemic wave, health authorities are urging would-be celebrants to be mindful of the risks and obey all limits on social gatherings.
The city of Kingston, Ont., for example, home to Queen s University, has made live music off limits. The order, which is in place until the end of the week, bars all social gatherings of more than five people and, among other things, limits the sale and service of alcohol. It breaks my Irish heart to have to do it but I do think it s prudent, said Dr. Kieran Moore, medical officer of health for Kingston and area said in announcing the measures. Last year, before we went into lockdown, there was significant social activity associated with St. Patrick s Day and it did put our community at risk.

Hello,
The federal National Advisory Committee on Immunization is citing enough “real-world evidence” to show the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine is both safe and effective for seniors.
It’s a decision that reverses a recommendation made by the body two weeks ago when the panel of vaccine experts said AstraZeneca hadn’t included enough people over the age of 65 in its clinical trials.

TORONTO Officials across Canada are relying on common sense and added restrictions in some cases rather than on the traditional luck of the Irish to keep St. Patrick’s Day from becoming a COVID-19 super-spreader event.
Amid worries about a third pandemic wave, health authorities are urging would-be celebrants to be mindful of the risks and obey all limits on social gatherings.
The city of Kingston, Ont., for example, home to Queen’s University, has made live music off limits. The order, which is in place until the end of the week, bars all social gatherings of more than five people and, among other things, limits the sale and service of alcohol.
