Wear Your Mask - COVID-19 Thread II

[robkelk]

Welcome to Morrisburg, the town that COVID-19 has (mostly) left alone

The small community on the St. Lawrence has zero active cases, but locals aren't letting down their guard down

For folks not familiar with the geography, Morrisburg is on the main highway between Toronto and Montreal, less than an hour from Ottawa, and between two border crossings with the USA. And they still have zero active cases.

So, what are they doing right? I'm probably preaching to the choir here:

• they wear masks
  
• they maintain physical distancing
  
• they disinfect common-use surfaces after every use
  
• they've closed the local theatre and other gathering places
  
• they shop locally, not going into the big cities with the big illness counts
  

In short, they work together and accept the financial losses.
