COVID-19 | November 21, 2020
Further to the Government of Ontario’s announcement yesterday, Peel Region, which includes Mississauga, is moving into the Grey-Lockdown level of Ontario’s COVID-19 Response Framework on Monday, November 23.
“The sobering reality is that COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations have been rising at an alarming rate in Mississauga over the last month and I firmly believe these new measures are the only way we can avoid school closures, further spread in our long-term care homes and overburdening our hospitals. It is the only way to avoid preventable deaths in Mississauga,” said Mayor Bonnie Crombie. “Members of Mississauga Council and I will continue to act on the best advice of Peel’s Medical Officer of Health, as well as provincial officials, to coordinate necessary responses and supports for our community. I again urge everyone to please stay home, limit their in-person contact to just their immediate households and continue following the advice of our public health officials. I know we can get through this together.”
