Vaughan citizens urged to remain vigilant and patient in fight against COVID-19


As the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the City of Vaughan is once again reminding citizens that everyone has a role to play in stopping the spread of this deadly virus.
 
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 
York Region – and Vaughan – moved to the Control-Red level in the Province of Ontario’s tiered Keeping Ontario Safe and Open Framework on Monday, Nov. 16. The Control-Red level includes broader-scale measures across multiple sectors to control transmission of COVID-19. Based on the update announced on Friday, Nov. 20, it is not anticipated that there will be an impact to 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.
