Medical Officer of Health Dr. Vera Etches says the relaxation of business restrictions has “caused confusion on the social side in terms of how much can we connect with others.”
A march is planned for Friday in Riverside South to be held in solidarity with those marching in downtown Ottawa to denounce racism and police brutality.
Ottawa Public Health is urging anyone who plans to attend Friday's march to practice physical distancing as much as possible, wear a mask, and consider signs instead of shouting.
