Greater protection against COVID-19 is coming to Headwaters Health Care Centre (HHCC), since they started sending their staff to Brampton for vaccinations against COVID-19 last Friday.
“The Province has prioritized early doses to those that are most vulnerable. Frontline healthcare workers may be exposed to COVID regularly due to the nature of their work,” noted Danny Williamson, spokesperson for Wellington–Duffering–Guelph (WDG) Public Health.
Rachel Kalas, Registered Nurse at HHCC’s Emergency Department was among the first of the hospitals staff to receive her first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
She has been part of the frontline response to the pandemic since its onset; caring for patients and families as well as supporting colleagues.

I Think I’ll Stay
As we enter a New Year with the Toffees well placed in the Premier League table (hopefully it will last but I have my doubts), thoughts will inevitably focus on the January transfer window: Do the Blues need to strengthen any positions? As well as the perennial disposal of the underperforming deadwood which we still have quite a number of. But, while we are in this yellow tie month, one thing which now has become very urgent, and which Everton need to sort out very quickly, is the position of Director of Football, Marcel Brands, who is in the last 6 months of his contract.

Orangeville District Secondary School (ODSS) has six confirmed cases of COVID-19 and Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health closed three classrooms before the holidays because of the current outbreak.
Classes are closed when there’s a positive case that’s considered a “high risk contact” by Public Health. Classes can have a positive case and remain open if the infected student wasn’t at school during their infectious period.
For an entire school to be shut down, there has to be evidence of students or staff spreading the virus amongst one another within its walls.
Danny Williamson of WDG Public Health told the Citizen, they have a very targeted approach when dealing with COVID-19 in schools, so wherever possible, they’ll opt to isolate the affected classrooms instead of shutting everything down.
