Huron Perth Public Health Medical Officer of Health offered a take on the current Covid-19 situation in the Region. Dr. Miriam Klassen says that the percentage of vaccination in the Region is going up slowly. She urges anyone eligible to be vaccination to do so.
There are 9000 people aged 12 and over that have yet to be vaccinated. This is a high number that could become infected she said when combined with the 12,000 people under the age of 12 that currently cannot be vaccinated.
On the topic of the recently issued Section 22 against a North Huron area restaurant she makes note of the over 1,000 restaurants in Huron Perth and she recognized the hard hit they have all taken during the pandemic. She says the rate of compliance is very high.
The Order was made to ensure requirements under the Reopening Ontario Act and any other recommendations from HPPH. They generally can remain open while coming into compliance with the Requirements under the Order.
