Dr. Marlene Spruyt, the Medical Officer of Health for the Algoma Health Unit says as of July 17th, the public will be required to wear face-covering when entering businesses, organizations and public transit systems throughout the unit’s service area.
She says the policy is being implemented under the authority of the provincial Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act as part of ongoing efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Spruyt emphasizes as the province continues to reopen, and as we continue to maintain corridors of essential travel between Algoma and other regions, we need to step up preventive measures to reopen safely and stay open.
