Bruce County wants to remind everyone that it is still necessary to avoid non-essential travel. Travel of any kind increases the chance for the spread of COVID-19.
Grey Bruce Public Health and other agencies are encouraging you to get outside, but traveling to do so is not recommended. People should travel only for purposes like groceries or medical supplies.
All Bruce County trails and all Saugeen River access points are closed.
Additionally, many parks and beaches across Bruce County municipalities have current restrictions. Places like stores, beaches, trails, river access points, and services remain closed.
Bring provisions with you as store shelves are not full and there is a reduced capacity to accommodate sudden changes in demands.
Practice social and physical distancing as recommended by Public Health officials such as maintaining a two-metre distance from others at all times, avoid crowds or gatherings of any kind, do not engage in group activities or visiting popular destinations.
People need an exit plan should a family member develop any symptoms of illness while visiting the cottage as rural hospitals have limited capacity and resources. People need to consider where Their health needs can be best met.
“Our hope in Bruce County is that if we stay home and continue social distancing for this long weekend, then we may be able to enjoy a traditional Bruce County summer,” said Warden Mitch Twolan. “As much as we miss our summer residents and visitors, we will be here ready to welcome everyone back when it is safer to do so.”
