Just this afternoon Milton Town Council approved a plan brought forward by our staff on what Stage 2 of the COVID19 provincial recovery plan looks like from a service level.
As one would understand, there are many factors involved in making these decisions of what is opened and what can wait. Safety of the residents and our staff is of the upmost importance when deciding on programming and where its to be held. Halton Region and Milton has done an incredible job in following the rules of physical distancing, hand washing and social circle management as we have seen the number of current infections in Milton drop to 15 active cases from well over 30 less than 2 weeks ago.
That IS NOT saying by any stretch that the battle is over regarding COVID19, but its a good trend to be on which is why we are now in Stage 2. Our staff also wanted to balance the delivery of the essential services and respond to the needs of the community as the situation evolves all the while keeping an eye on the bottom line and financial impact.
Here are some of the details outlined at our council meeting today.
