As two of Ontario’s Public Health units have reinstated pandemic measures to curb the local spread of COVID-19 cases, The Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health (WDGPH) unit said it has no plans locally at this time to reinstate capacity limits.
The public health units that have imposed the restrictions, both of which are located in Northern Ontario, said the decision comes as a response to an increase in COVID-19 cases.
The public health unit covering Sudbury issued a notice to residents warning them the new measures come into effect at 12:01 a.m. on Nov. 10.
Algoma Public Health was the second public health department to issue a similar notice, saying in response to rapidly rising COVID-19 cases in Algoma, and especially in the municipality of Sault Ste. Marie, further action would be taken to curb any spreads.
As of Tuesday afternoon, WDGPH was reporting 88.7 per cent of residents have received at least one dose and 86.5 per cent of residents have received both doses.
Within the City of Guelph 94 per cent of the eligible population has received at least one dose, while 91.8 per cent of those eligible are fully vaccinated.
WDGPH was reporting 78 active cases in the region as of Tuesday afternoon.
