COVID-19 INFORMATION & UPDATES

COVID-19 is a respiratory virus with pneumonia-like symptoms. There are confirmed cases in Canada, including Ontario. The Town of Blind River is working closely with Health Officials in our community to monitor the global situation and respond accordingly.

UPDATE - November 19, 2021
Our cases of COVID-19 continue to rise in Algoma. Here are some actions to protect yourself, your household, and your workplace to help stop the surge of COVID-19.
1. Even if you are fully immunized but back on unnecessary activities where you have unmasked, face-to-face close contact with people you don't live with.
2. Anyone who is sick, even with mild symptoms, must stay home and isolate away from others - regardless of whether you have received the COVID-19 vaccine.
3. Get fully vaccinated.

BLIND RIVER MUNICIPAL OFFICE IS NOW OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. PLEASE FOLLOW ALL SOCIAL DISTANCING AND MASKING REQUIREMENTS. AT THIS TIME WE ARE ONLY ALLOWING TWO PEOPLE IN AT A TIME.
