At today's Board of Health meeting we heard from Dr. Wang that we must:
Stay home when possible AND
Dramatically reduce our social interactions.

The virus will continue to spread if WE continue to give it opportunities.

COVID-19 is on an exponential rise in @RegionWaterloo 1/5
Our indicators have us speeding into the Red level, if we do not make changes now we will continue to a full Lockdown.

Today I wrote to Ministers @PattyHajdu & @celliottability urgently requesting trained contact tracers & investigators to help increase our capacity. 2/5
Board of Health also gave direction to increase enforcement efforts - a partnership btwn public health, local municipal bylaw & @WRPSToday.

Starting today a team of provincial offenses officers are in the Region to carry out education & enforcement of high risk businesses 3/5
We have seen many outbreaks locally in workplace settings where COVID is spreading from worker to worker, we cannot let our guards down especially in these employee only settings.

Keep your mask ON, keep your distance, wash your hands & stay home when sick. 4/5
