The recommendation to distance from close family members comes as case numbers rise across the province in relation to family gatherings, weddings, funerals, backyard parties, and prayer meetups.

Family gatherings are dangerous, rioting and looting are not. LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

Why are kids and teachers are going back without proper social distancing

Be careful who you invite. Follow the Libs policies on invitee selection.

Don't eat the potato salad.

Seriously Come on! This is ridiculous! Look at the numbers! Out of 4.5 million people...

Bullshit

What exactly is ‘extra vigilant’? How much more vigilant, than simply being regular ‘vigilant’?

If your relatives aren't symptomatic, there's little chance of transmission according to WHO. This is just local politicians on a power trip.

They must spend a lot of time beating the bushes to find these biased “doctors”. Doctors of what, I wonder? News flash...doctors are corruptible. Believe the science & the evidence.

School is perfectly fine though

Hug, kiss, spend time with your family. Life is precious, live it while you can.

but sending kids to school is ok,
