BROCKVILLE – The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit area is one of two Ontario health units moving to the green-prevent category under the lockdown framework on Tuesday.
It will mean limits on social gatherings of 10 people indoors and 25 outdoors.
Medical Officer of Health Dr. Paula Stewart is “pleased to be returning to the framework in the green-prevent zone.”
