On Friday, July 17, 2020, we are able to start Stage 3 re-opening. A listing of the places being able to open can be found here. It is critical that we continue to use all of the public health measures that have allowed us to move to Stage 3. See page 10 of the Stage 3 report.
In Eastern Ontario, we have worked together on a regional approach to mandatory masks. In Leeds, Grenville and Lanark, this Instruction will require premises with indoor public spaces to adopt a policy to ensure facial coverings/masks are worn inside enclosed public spaces. This is an added measure to the existing public health measures in place, to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
We continue to have a low number of new cases, so please continue to practice physical distancing of 2m/6ft, stay home when you are sick, wash your hands, and do regular cleaning of common hard surfaces as well as wearing a face covering/mask in enclosed indoor spaces.
Our offices and service sites are closed to the walk-in public – Check here for a listing of our essential services.
Our website has answers to many of your questions, but if you would like to speak to someone, call 1-800-660-5853 – extension 2222 for COVID-19 questions, extension 2308 for business re-opening questions, extension 2499 for all other inquires. As of August 8, 2020, our weekend phone line hours will change to 8:30am – Noon. Weekdays remains at 8:30am to 4:30pm.
