Emergency Control Group Update - May 13

Wyoming, ON - The County of Lambton Emergency Control Group met Wednesday, May 13 to discuss updates in the current COVID-19 situation. The group will meet next on Friday to discuss new developments and planning requirements. Additional meetings will be scheduled if needed.

At these meetings, the Emergency Control Group:

• Received an update from Lambton County's Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Ranade, regarding the COVID-19 situation in Lambton County. Current statistics are available on the Lambton Public Health website, including a detailed community snapshot.
• Continued to discuss recommendations towards those planning on visiting their cottage as we head towards the May long weekend. We continue to ask that everyone avoid unnecessary travel and remain at their primary residence. However, if you absolutely must travel to your additional property, we ask that you bring all supplies and resources with you and follow all public health recommendations including practicing physical distancing and proper hand hygiene.
• Discussed the provincial announcement expected Thursday regarding moving into phase one of the re-opening plan. Public Health will continue to work with provincial partners to ensure any guidance documents are circulated to applicable industries and groups in the County.
