Haldimand and Norfolk residents are being urged to remain vigilant as the two counties move into ‘orange restrict’ and many businesses re-open for the first time in more than a month.
“The best advice I can give is to stay home as much as possible, wear a mask when you must go out, avoid close contact with anyone you don’t live with and wash your hands frequently,” Dr. Shankar Nesathurai, Haldimand-Norfolk’s Medical Officer of Health, said Tuesday. “With limited vaccinations for those most at risk have taken place in Haldimand and Norfolk, these basic public health practices continue to play a key role in our response to COVID-19.”
