Vaughan citizens urged to be vigilant in fight against COVID-19

As York Region – including Vaughan – moves to the Control-Red level today in the Province of Ontario’s tiered Keeping Ontario Safe and Open Framework, the City is reminding citizens that everyone has a role to play in stopping the spread of COVID-19.
 
To keep the community safe, York Region Public Health is asking residents to follow this advice:
 
  • Stay home as much as possible and limit close contact to those in your immediate household
  • Practise physical distancing with anyone outside of your household by staying two metres away from everyone else
  • Wash your hands thoroughly and often
  • Practise respiratory etiquette
  • Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands
  • Wear a face mask or covering when inside public places and when physical distancing cannot be maintained
  • Clean high-touch surfaces often
  • Download the COVID-Alert app 
The Control-Red level includes broader-scale measures across multiple sectors to control transmission of COVID-19. It will not impact current programs and services offered by the City thanks to the disciplined, responsible and measured approach that has guided decision-making to date in response to this virus. Visit York Region’s website to learn more about public health safety measures in the Control-Red level.
 
To avoid further closures and remain vigilant in the fight to stop the spread of COVID-19 transmissions, enforcement and education efforts have been increased across the city. Greater attention and a more assertive, proactive approach to enforcement are underway. Public complaints, concerns and inquiries should be reported to Access Vaughan at 905-832-2281.
