Echoing guidance for last year’s pandemic Easter celebrations, the medical officer of health for Windsor and Essex County on Thursday urged families to connect virtually and spend time outside during the long weekend.
“We recognize it is an important time of year and people will be looking for some activities,” said Dr. Wajid Ahmed. “Choose those activities outdoors. The weather will be better. It will be a good opportunity and you are reducing the risk.”
