Eastern Ontario’s top doctor is urging residents to limit close contacts and wear a mask indoors, with COVID-19 levels on the rise across the region.
Dr. Paul Roumeliotis is urging Prescott Russell residents to do four things to protect yourself, your family and the community:
- Get vaccinated with all the doses you are eligible for
- Limit your close contacts
- Wear a mask in indoor public spaces
- Stay home if you are sick
- Ontario lifted capacity limits in most indoor settings in February, while mask mandates were lifted on March 21.
Several public health experts have said the government lifted masking requirements too soon.
Public health officials have continued to encourage people to wear masks indoors.
