WINDSOR, ONT. --
The Canadian government is planning a slow and steady approach to ease the restrictions on cross-border travel.
Windsor-Essex Medical Officer of Health Dr. Wajid Ahmed says he welcomes an eventual easing of restrictions, but notes cross-border travel comes with risks and challenges.
“I think we just need to be careful in who we are allowing and what criteria we are using to allow these people to travel,” he says.
Ahmed says proper precautions are needed saying the active case rate in Windsor-Essex remains a concern.
“Our active cases have gone down less than 150 in our community which is great, but that means there are still 150 people that we are aware of that are currently infectious,” he says.
