The Thunder Bay Museum says to stay away until at least April 6th.
They are closing down for now and will re-evaluate whether to open in the coming weeks. Officials say they are looking out for the health of their staff and patrons and will follow the Thunder Bay Health Unit’s guidelines.
Executive Director Scott Bradley says they will refund any reservations that are impacted by the closure. They are asking patrons to consider rescheduling instead.
The Thunder Bay Historical Museum Society Annual General Meeting scheduled for March 24 has been postponed, and the Museum will announce a new date once it is determined. The Museum’s Taste of History Dinner has been rescheduled for Friday, September 18 2020, but already-purchased tickets will remain valid.
There are currently no confirmed COVID-19 cases in Thunder Bay. The Thunder Bay District Health Unit is urging you to self-isolate for 14 days if you have been out of the country. Authorities are also urging you to get your news on COVID-19 from credible news sources and that the Health Unit will be confirming any cases which show up in the district.
The Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre has implemented restrictions as well. Only one person is allowed to visit any patient at any time and that person must be designated by the patient. Everyone entering the hospital is being screened. There is also an assessment centre set up just outside the hospital’s Emergency Department.
Screening protocols are also taking place at all city-run and private long term care facilities.
