Durham Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Robert Kyle is reminding Durham residents that the Stay-at-Home order will remain in effect until February 16.
Durham will be moving to Red-Control from Tuesday.
Local businesses are reminded that current restrictions remain in place and area residents are reminded to continue to stay home as much as possible. Leave only for essential reasons such as grocery shopping, going to the pharmacy, getting fresh air and exercise, going to school, etc., he said in a statement released earlier.
“Please avoid all social gatherings and non-essential travel throughout the Family Day holiday weekend. Travel between regions should be avoided as it will greatly increase the potential for spikes in community spread and undo all the progress we have made,” said Dr. Kyle.
“Thank you for your commitment and patience as we work together to decrease Covid-19 transmission in our community. Please visit durham.ca/novelcoronavirus often to remain informed about local public health advice, measures and restrictions,” he added.
