Last week the Ontario Government announced some easing of the COVID-19 public health measures. Here is a summary of those changes, and Council’s recommendations about how OUC should respond.
Effective Feb. 17th
- Meeting spaces – removal of capacity limits where proof of vaccination is required
- Indoor weddings, worship services and religious ceremonies – capacity increased to the number of people who can maintain 2 metres of physical distance OR removal of capacity limits where proof of vaccination is required.
Effective Tuesday, March 1st
- Lifting of proof of vaccination requirements for all settings
- Businesses, churches and other locations have the option to continue to require proof of vaccination.
Council’s Recommendations & next steps:
- For indoor meetings, group activities and other rentals
- Continue to require proof of vaccination
- For indoor OUC worship services and religious ceremonies
- Continue to require proof of vaccination
- Continue to require that people maintain 2 metres of physical distance
- Allow some time to “let the dust settle” and revisit at the March 23rd Council meeting.
