We continue to consult with regional health leaders and neighboring governments to make decisions in the best interest of protecting the health and safety of our communities as we begin to carefully re-open our local economy. Our intention is to ease back towards normalcy in gradual steps, so that we don’t put lives at unnecessary risk. We will monitor the impact of the pandemic prior to making each step, so that we don’t have to return to a more restrictive step. We plan to continually reassess to ensure our emergency orders are appropriate for the level of pandemic risk.”
