The Township of Ramara follows the direction of the Government of Ontario’s COVID-19 Response Framework and Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit. As of April 8, 2021 at 12:01 a.m., the Ontario government will enact its third Provincial Emergency and four-week Stay-at-Home Order. 

 Province of Ontario Emergency Measures - April 8, 2021

 As announced on April 7, 2021, the Ontario Government has declared a State of Emergency and a Stay-at-Home order effective April 8, 2021 at 12:01 a.m.

The following additional public health measures will take effect January 13, 2021 at 12:01 a.m.: 

  • Outdoor organized public gatherings and social gatherings are further restricted to a limit of five people with limited exceptions.
  • Individuals are required to wear a mask or face covering in the indoor areas of businesses or organizations that are open. Wearing a mask or face covering is now recommended outdoors when you can't physically distance more than two metres.  
  • All non-essential retail stores can only operate for curbside pick-up and delivery, via appointment, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 8 p.m.
  • Restricting discount and big box stores in-person retail sales to grocery items, pet care supplies, household cleaning supplies, pharmaceutical items, health care items, and personal care items only. 
  • Permitting select stores to operate for in-person retail by appointment only and subject to a 25 per cent capacity limit and restricting the hours of operation between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m.

The stay-at-home order requires everyone to remain at home with exceptions for permitted purposes or activities, such as going to the grocery store or pharmacy, accessing health care services, for exercise or for work where the work cannot be done remotely. This order and other new and existing public health restrictions are aimed at limiting people's mobility and reducing the number of daily contacts with those outside an immediate household. In addition to limiting outings for these purposes, all businesses must ensure that any employee who can work from home, does work from home.

 Face Coverings

 In response to the alarming and exceptional circumstances at hand, and to further interrupt the deadly trend of transmission in Ontario communities, hospitals, and long-term care homes, the following additional public health measures will take effect January 13, 2021 at 12:01 a.m.: 
  • Individuals are required to wear a mask or face covering in the indoor areas of businesses or organizations that are open. Wearing a mask or face covering is now recommended outdoors when you can't physically distance more than two metres.  

A face covering means a medical or non-medical mask or other face covering such as a bandana or scarf that covers

the mouth and nose.
