| Description (Service) | As of Oct 22, the total number of confirmed positive and probable cases in Halton Region is 1,932 with 231 currently active. For further detailed information on COVID-19, refer to the following credible information sources: * Region of Halton * Ontario Ministry of Health * Health Canada * World Health Organization (WHO) Halton Region is experiencing a second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. As cases continue to rise across the province and in Halton, it is more important than ever to follow public health direction and take personal responsibility to protect yourself and others. Stopping the spread of COVID-19 is a community effort and what we do today is critical to what we all experience two to three weeks from now. Halton Region (including Burlington, Milton, Halton Hills and Oakville) moved to Stage 3 of reopening effective Friday, July 24, 2020. Nearly all businesses and public spaces are gradually reopening with restrictions in place, while some high-risk venues and activities will remain closed until they can safely resume operations. For information on what is opening and what remains closed visit Halton Region web page here Halton Region has also implemented a Halton-wide temporary bylaw requiring everyone aged five and up to wear a non-medical mask or face covering in enclosed public spaces. This bylaw came into effect on July 22 and will expire on November 30, with the option for regional council to extend this date. There are several exemptions to the rule, including for people with underlying health conditions that inhibit their ability to wear a mask. See here for further information. For additional information on the current status of municipal services, the actions that Halton municipalities are taking, and information on municipal services re-opening plans, refer to the following sources: * City of Burlington * Town of Oakville * Town of Milton * Town of Halton Hills |
