COVID-19

In addition to the existing measures under the Red-Control level of the COVID-19 response framework, Public Health Sudbury and Districts is introducing new measures to curb the rise in COVID-19 cases. PHSD has issued two formal Letters of Instruction under the Reopening of Ontario Act to all food premises and sports and recreation facilities. The new measures come into effect on Wednesday, March 10, at 12:01 a.m.

Food Premises:

The Letter of Instruction will apply to all persons responsible for food premises with indoor and/or outdoor dining areas open to the public within the PHSD service area. In addition to the Red-Control requirements, Public Health is now requiring that all patrons seated at the same table in a dining area of a food premise be from the same household, with some exemptions for patrons who live alone or are caregivers. Businesses will also require patrons to verbally attest to this and to provide additional information to food premises owners and operators to support effective contact tracing by Public Health in the event of a potential COVID-19 exposure.

Sports & Recreation Centres: The Letter of Instruction will apply to all persons responsible for sports and recreation fitness facilities open to the public within the Public Health Sudbury & Districts service area. In addition to the Red-Control requirements, Public Health is now requiring that additional measures be implemented to prohibit in-person team sports from being played or practiced, as well as prohibiting activities that result in individuals coming within 3 metres of one another.
