'Every option on the table' as LTC union escalates push for vaccination

LONDON, ONT. --
The call from London Transit workers for priority vaccination grew louder on Thursday with the backing of the Amalgamated Transit Union’s (ATU) National President John Di Nino.
“Our operators intersect daily with hundreds of riders. Nationally it’s about 1.5 million rides every month,” says Di Nino.
There has been one recovery this week, lowering the number of active COVID-19 cases among London Transit workers from seven to six.
Two of the employees are hospitalized.
The union is making a nationwide push for adequate COVID-19 protection in the workplace, and to prioritize transit workers for vaccination.
In Ontario, transit workers are among a massive cohort of essential workers (who can’t work from home) still awaiting an opportunity to be vaccinated.

But, Mackie adds that an increase in COVID-19 variants in the region remains a concern.

Prematurely lifting COVID-19 restrictions would risk dangerous rebound

LONDON, ONT. --
Lower daily case counts and the decision to reopen schools in the region are no reason to relax the shutdown, according to the medical officer of health.
Two weeks in, pandemic-weary Londoners admit reaching the halfway point of the provincial Stay at Home Order doesn’t make the restrictions any easier.
“I like to keep people's health in the forefront of my mind, but I know its hard for businesses,” acknowledges student Gabby Schoettle.
“It’s getting a little harder, but we need to keep everybody safe,” says Mari-Lee McGuire as she walks through Wortley Village.
With a daughter who’s a first responder, McGuire says obeying the current restrictions is critical, but it’s OK to miss what we’re all going without.
