TILLSONBURG - The Mayor of Tillsonburg is urging residents to follow public health recommendations and work together to stop the surge of new cases.
Tillsonburg currently has 95 active cases, the highest in the region and 90 staff and residents have now tested positive at the Maple Manor nursing home.
Stephen Molnar says his thoughts and prayers are with everyone at the long term care home right now.
"These are our neighbours, our loved ones, our community members and we need to sacrifice a little bit more on what we can control, so we are not escalating the problem in our community."
The 95 active cases in Tillsonburg is the highest total for any municipality in our region, since the pandemic started. Molnar says we have reached a critical point with this virus in Tillsonburg.
"The hospitals are at capacity, the pressures, both emotional and physical on our front line health care providers, our essential service providers, our emergency personnel and those families, who aren't even able to see a loved one right now."
Molnar says residents need to follow the advice of Public Health officials, so we can contain this spread.
"I think we need to become alert again. We are sharing a great concern for our community as a whole. So following the advice of our public health officials, following the rules and regulations in the Provincial lookdown and sacrificing again as individuals, as a community as a whole, these are the things we need to do, to make sure, we are mitigating the overall pressures this virus is bringing."
