Local health authorities have urged residents to stay home whenever pos- sible as the region reached almost 700 active COVID-19 cases after the weekend. The weekend numbers were released a day before the provincial government announced a state of emergency for 28 days. A stay-at-home order was also issued, which started on Thursday at 12.01 a.m. that required everyone to remain at home with exceptions for essential purposes, such as going to the grocery store or phar- macy, accessing health care services, for exercise or for essential work. Under the changes, outdoor organized public gatherings and social gatherings were restricted to a limit of five people with limited exceptions. All non-essential retail stores, such as hardware stores, alcohol retailers, and those offering curbside pickup or delivery, had hours restricted to between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. The western areas of Prescott and Rus- sell had been hit the hardest in recent days. On Monday, Clarence-Rockland recorded 92 active cases, Russell had 52, and Alfred- 1MBOUBHFOFUIBE&MTFXIFSFJO1SFTDPUU Russell, Champlain had 18 active cases, while Casselman, Hawkesbury, and The /BUJPOSFDPSEFEFBDI&BTU)BXLFTCVSZ reported no active cases. &0)6.FEJDBM0GàDFSPG)FBMUI%S1BVM
