Kingston’s Medical Officer of Health calls for travel restrictions during lockdown
COVID-19 lockdown looming, Kingston’s chief medical officer wants to go one step further — he is calling on the government to impose travel restrictions, backed up by police enforcement.“With travel restrictions both between provinces and within the province … that will really help us,” says Dr. Kieran Moore, Chief Medical Officer for KFL&A Public Health.According Moore, the Ford government’s 28-day lockdown, which goes into effect on Boxing Day, should also have included mandated travel restrictions between cities in Ontario and Quebec.“We’re in a very difficult position, between Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa,” says Moore.
