‘Rescinding this public health order, however, should not be interpreted to mean that this battle is over,’ said Dr. Shanker Nesathurai

A controversial order banning cottagers from attending their seasonal property in popular waterfront communities along Lake Erie — under threat of a $5,000 fine — was rescinded just as cottagers were heading out for the Victoria Day long weekend.

“The transmission of COVID-19 only requires one cough. If travel is absolutely necessary, please bring your own groceries and fuel your vehicle up in your home community. And if you’re thinking about a day-trip, please consider putting it off for a little while longer,” Nesathurai said. The order was issued under Section 22 of the Health Protection and Promotion Act, which is usually used to control an infection at a specific location, such as a restaurant, where an outbreak has been detected.

“We continue to have serious concerns about the potential for a second wave of disease to hit our community and the havoc that would wreak on our economy.”
