Libraries are generally full of people of all ages looking to take advantage of their numerous books and programs to learn and connect with others. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how libraries in Caledon operate, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t offering residents something to do.
Caledon Public Library has worked hard to ensure people from across the area are still able to enjoy their programming, just through a different lens with their shift to the online world.
Although the province is still dealing with the pandemic and widespread closures, Caledon Public Library has a jam-packed spring to keep people busy while they’re in lockdown at home.
State of emergency – stay at home orders implemented
The Ontario government, in consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health and other health experts, is immediately declaring a third provincial state of emergency under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act.
These measures are being taken in response to the rapid increase in COVID-19 transmission, the threat on the province’s hospital system capacity, and the increasing risks posed to the public by COVID-19 variants.
Case rates, hospitalizations, and ICU occupancy are increasing rapidly, threatening to overwhelm the health care system.
The province-wide Stay-at-Home order, which came into effect at midnight, requires everyone to remain at home except for essential purposes, such as going to the grocery store or pharmacy, accessing health care services (including getting vaccinated), outdoor exercise, or for work that cannot be done remotely.
