COVID-19 

Latest updates

• We are currently experiencing a challenging respiratory illness season. There are several viruses circulating in our community including respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza and COVID-19. The health care system is reporting an increase in severity of illness from these viruses, especially in children below 5 years of age.
• In alignment with the Province, Halton Region Public Health is strongly recommending that residents use all layers of protection to help protect our children, families and health care system. These layers include:
  • Masking: Wear a good quality and well-fitted mask in all indoor settings including schools/child care settings, social gatherings and public settings.
  • Staying up to date with flu and COVID-19 vaccines including booster doses.
  • Screening daily for symptoms.
  • Staying home if sick.
  • Practicing good hand hygiene. Wash your hands frequently.
  • Frequently cleaning high-touch surfaces and objects.
  • Practicing physical distancing where possible.
• Get boosted this fall! Everyone 12+ can now walk-in or book an appointment to get the bivalent COVID-19 booster dose.
  • The bivalent booster targets the original COVID-19 virus and the Omicron variant, and can help restore protection that has decreased since previous vaccination or infection.
  • Use our online calculator to easily find out when you are recommended to get your next dose.
