He added that in late January 2020, Mayor Mauro met with Dr. Janet DeMille, Medical Officer of Health to discuss the Health Unit’s protocols to monitor the situation, and the response from the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Health.
Throughout the past year, the MECG has met on a regular basis to work together on controlling the spread of COVID-19, collaborate on strategies, and assist each other wherever possible to provide a coordinated response effort in the community.
Members of the MECG, led by Public Health, are now turning their attention to vaccine distribution and administration.
