With the number of COVID-19 cases rising of late in Chippewa County, Algoma Public Health issued a special travel advisory on Wednesday afternoon.

The advisory was issued for those who have been regularly traveling cross-border for work or school.

In a release, APH advises even those who are exempt from federal travel and quarantine restrictions to:

  • Avoid cross-border travel and use virtual options if possible
  • While in Chippewa County, protect yourself by avoiding crowded indoor spaces and staying two metres apart from other people at all times
  • Once back in Algoma, protect others by staying home as much as possible for 14 days and not having close contact with others, especially vulnerable people who are elderly or have underlying health conditions

The advisory will remain in effect until Dec. 2 and APH will issue a further update at that time
