Lambton County Advancing to Stage 2

Wyoming, ON - This afternoon, the Provincial government announced the County of Lambton has been given approval to proceed to Stage 2. This change will come into effect Friday, June 19 at 12:01 a.m. Additional details about Stage 2 can be found on the Province of Ontario website.

"We're pleased to be able to move forward, as a large portion of the province has done already," said Lambton County Warden Bill Weber. "Residents and businesses have been patiently waiting for this news, and we ask for continued patience as businesses work towards reopening safely."

Local businesses are encouraged to visit ontario.ca/covidsafety to review the provincial resources and guidelines for reopening.

While many businesses, services and public spaces are allowed to reopen as soon as this Friday, they are not obligated to do so until proper Public Health measures are in place to protect both employees and customers. Lambton Public Health will continue to work with local businesses and municipalities to provide support and resources to aid in a smooth reopening. Frequently asked questions, resources and a contact form can be found on the Workplaces page of the Lambton Public Health website.

Additionally, residents are reminded to continue following the advice of local health officials and all regulations in place at local businesses, services and public spaces. This includes maintaining proper physical distance, practicing proper hand hygiene and cough/sneeze etiquette and staying home when sick.
