Town Hall

In the interest of transparency, the Town of Orangeville is providing notice that an employee has tested positive for COVID-19. The Town and the staff member (who is now in isolation) are currently working with Public Health. Public Health is the process of completing their protocols and is expected to contact individuals who may have been potentially exposed. Public Health has advised based on their work so far that it is low risk.

The Town has an active approach to cleaning and staff protocols to ensure safe program and service offerings; as a further precaution the Town closed the recreation facilities earlier today to ensure a deep clean of program and staff areas and has now reopened the facilities.

The Town has and continues to follow Public Health guidelines and has the health and safety of staff – and the community -- as a top priority. It is important for everyone to stay diligent and continue to practise public health measures to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 in our community. These measures include:

  • Washing hands frequently with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds
  • Staying home if sick, self-isolating from others and getting tested
  • Keeping a physical distance of at least two metres from others in your group, unless they are household members or in your social circle
  • Wearing a mask or face covering in an enclosed space, especially in settings where it is difficult to maintain a physical distance from others
  • Meeting up outside and keeping gathering times short
  • Taking extra precautions if people are elderly or have chronic health conditions
