Grey-Bruce Medical Officer of Health Dr. Ian Arra is rescinding the Class Order, issued April 16, 2021, that contained requirements for self-isolation related to COVID-19.
The order mandated self isolation for Grey-Bruce residents who were diagnosed with COVID-19, had symptoms, had close contact with someone who had symptoms, or was diagnosed with COVID 19.
The Class Order is being rescinded effective March 1, 2022, as it has served its purpose.
However, The Grey Bruce Health Unit continues to strongly advise residents to follow the self-isolation requirements and self-monitoring recommendations set by the province of Ontario. They differ for people who have been vaccinated and those who have not been vaccinated.
Anyone who has received direction from public health regarding isolation, must follow the direction. Anyone who has symptoms of COVID-19 should assume they have the virus and self-isolate.
“You don’t need to hear it from the medical officer of health; our mothers said it best – stay at home if sick,” said Dr. Arra.
