There have been no new cases of Covid-19 confirmed in Grey-Bruce for five days, and the Grey Bruce Health Unit Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Ian Arra, is determined to keep the virus from spreading in our communities.

Dr. Arra, is renewing the Order issued July 17, 2020, ordering all Commercial Establishments in Grey Bruce, to the fullest extent possible that they, for all the following:

· ensure effective measures are in place to maintain physical distancing of 2 metres amongst all employees and clients;

· ensure the availability of alcohol-based hand rub at all entrances and exits; and,

· make the best effort (verbal) to restrict persons from entering the premises or remaining within the premises if not wearing a face covering. Turning away or refusing a customer is not required under this Order.

“The preventative measures, as identified in the renewed Order, reduce the risk of cases and outbreaks of COVID-19 in Grey and Bruce Counties.” says Dr. Ian Arra, Grey Bruce Medical Office of Health. “The community continues to embrace the use of face coverings as a part of their personal routine along with physical distancing and other public health recommendations. There is a great need to continue to do everything possible to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”
