Mayor’s Message on COVID-19 – January 5, 2021

Hello everyone, message 37.

Happy New Year from Billings Township!

With this pandemic worsening in many parts of the world and within our country and province we can all find a reason for cautious optimism locally with our still remarkably low numbers.

While the vaccines are being rolled out now we will need to continue to be patient.

Rightly so, the most vulnerable should be first in line and in due course everyone will be reached.

Ontario reported 3,128 more cases today with many large urban southern Ontario hospitals at maximum capacity in their intensive care units.

Let’s all hope that the current province wide guidelines will be enough to bring the numbers back down to a manageable level.

In the meantime, we can continue doing what has proven thus far to work as we all look forward to that eventual immunization level that will allow us to get back to a more normal life.

Continue to stay safe everyone!

Thank you,

Ian
