How to eventually broaden the vaccine rollout.
The City’s Municipal Emergency Control Group met Wednesday to discuss initial preparations of the larger rollout.
Both Mayor Bill Mauro and Medical Officer of Health Dr. Janet DeMille want you to remain vigilant as the city awaits further information on plans for the delivery of vaccine beyond the Regional Health Sciences Centre.
“We must continue to work together and follow public health recommendations. We have the ability to slow the spread as we accomplished in the first wave and end the lockdown,” says Mauro. “If we do not work together and act now, things will get worse and the lockdown will have to be extended.”
“With the entire province in a time limited shutdown, we must remember that indoor gatherings of any size are off-limits,” DeMille adds. “It might not be the New Year’s Eve that people are used to, but similar to Christmas, people should ring in 2021 with only those they live with. While this is not the way we would want to celebrate the holidays, this is an opportunity to get our case numbers under better control.”
The Medical Officer of Health notes if you’re experiencing any symptoms, even mild, make sure and get tested.
