Ontario’s top doctor to release guidance for Thanksgiving, Halloween

Ontario’s chief medical officer of health is expected to release his advice Thursday for safely celebrating Thanksgiving and Halloween.

Earlier this week, Dr. Kieran Moore offered a few tips for the upcoming events saying celebrating indoors and unmasked with a fully vaccinated group is “absolutely appropriate.”

Moore reiterated that the province’s limits of 100 people outdoors and 25 indoors are still in place.

He said if there are going to be some unvaccinated people within the group, attendees should consider keeping masks on indoors, particularly for older people or those with medical conditions.

Last year, the province suggested residents living in areas where COVID-19 was on the rise should not take part in trick-or-treating.
