Huron Perth Public Health is preparing for the next phase of re-opening in Ontario.
The Doug Ford government announced Step 3 of re-opening would begin on Friday, allowing outdoor social gatherings of up to 100 people, and indoor social gatherings of up to 25 people.
During Step 3, indoor dining will be allowed with no limits to the number of patrons per table.
HPPH says they will be working closely with businesses and operators to prepare for the safe resumption of services over the coming weeks.
“As we continue to navigate our way through the COVID-19 pandemic, we want to thank all Huron Perth business owners and operators who have made sacrifices to stop the spread of COVID-19 in our community, and for their continued cooperation and patience as the new changes come into effect,” says Dr. Miriam Klassen, Medical Officer of Health for Huron-Perth.
As of Friday, 74.4 per cent of Huron Perth residents aged 12 and over have received one dose of vaccine, and 44.7 per cent are fully vaccinated.
For those aged 18 and over — the metric the province is using for the Roadmap to Reopen — 75.8 per cent have received one dose and 48.0 per cent are fully vaccinated.
