Premier Doug Ford says if you go to the cottage over the holidays you should stay there and not go out.
Addressing people attending their secondary residences throughout the Festive Season, Ford says some guidelines should be followed.
“If you’re going to a secondary residence, you get all your shopping, all your food, everything where you live, you go up there and you stay there,” he said. “You don’t be leaving your place. You stay there with your direct family members.”
Health Minister Christine Elliott adds that if you are going to a cottage from an area like a current hot spot, get your shopping done ahead of time and stay in as no one wants more community transmission of the virus in areas that still have relatively low cases.
Ontario Public Health’s advice for people celebrating the holiday season this year suggests individuals and families in higher transmission areas should avoid going to lower transmission areas, except for essential reasons.
