“It’s worrying, and I still see it intensify,” he said. They can’t throw those parties in the yard, other people don’t wear masks.Anyone who makes plans to throw a big party this weekend will cancel it.”or we would probably not hesitate to turn it off, because again, we see this slow drag (increasing number).So, folks, follow protocols.
Ford had a stern (and popular) warning to those celebrating the long weekend with hashish or alcohol.
They shouldn’t percentage on anything, whether it’s those baubles, those or whatever you want to call them, or drinks or whatever, not the percentages.Wear a mask … In the small backyards, it’s just not big enough (for giant gatherings) , ” said Ford.”Let’s follow protocols, be careful and then they’re all beautiful.”
The Prime Minister also fiercely defended Ontario Medical Director of Health Dr. David Williams when asked about the complaint and asked for his resignation.
“I have all the confidence in the world in Dr. Williams,” Ford said.”You know (the groups) have been clamoring for Dr. Williams’ head from the beginning, and I’m angry about that.
“Dr. Williams worked 24 hours a day. This guy doesn’t sleep, he protects other people, and the numbers speak for themselves.Thanks to Dr. Williams, his entire team and the province’s 34 (regional) medical (regional) health officials, they have the lowest instances consisting of 100,000 in North America.
“What else do you need from this man?” The guy works with his back, gives his judgment and …works collaboratively. He talks to all fitness experts across the country, across the province, communicates with all public fitness officials,” Ford said.
“I’ll be with Dr. Williams any day, any pandemic.”

Canada’s medical director of health, dr.Theresa Tam clarified her previous recommendations this week on COVID-19 intimate relationships.
In particular, his advice that others use masked sex was addressed to others who “enter into new relationships.”
“Obviously, I wasn’t talking about other people you’ve ever been on a date with or accepting as truth (but rather) someone who’s outdoors in your social bubble,” he said.
In particular, Tam commented that academics who return to college and who “expand their social contacts” deserve to be aware of the greatest dangers and take general sexual action.
“It makes sense,” she says.
Tam also suggested Canadians think twice before participating in Labor Day activities.Federal experts advised that Americans, whether they themselves or a family member, are most at risk of serious COVID-19 headaches and, if they attend a collection or event, if organizers have made enough adjustments to make some physical distance and/or provide participants with the ability to walk away or distance themselves if they feel uncomfortable.
