There are conflicting perspectives on the reality of the COVID-19 threat.
Ontario has eased restrictions for individuals, and some worry it might be too soon.
Our own Acting Medical Officer of Health, Doctor Robert Cushman is among those concerned about the spread of the Omicron sub-variants- and his best advice remains, get vaccinated.
He says the apprehension some feel about MNRA vaccines won’t be as large a factor as new, more conventionally formulated serums become available in the near future.
Cushman says vaccination rates within the RCDHU catchment area remain below fifty percent for those having had a third shot.
Cushman says don’t put off boosting your immunities with another dose.
To ward off the virus, keep your outside contacts to a minimum, and remember, masking remains a good defense.
Over the weekend, Quebec extended its mask mandate until the middle of the month.
