PRIVATE FUNERAL------ Due to Covid 19 restrictions
Peel mandates even stricter restrictions than Red - Control to slow spread of COVID-19
Mississauga, ON (November 7, 2020) - Because of a worsening pandemic picture, Dr. Lawrence Loh, Medical Officer of Health for the Region of Peel, today issued directives to the community that are stricter than those required for the Red – Control stage.
FOR FUNERALS_
"For places of worship, I strongly recommend leaders of such venues to consider conducting religious services, rites, or ceremonies virtually as much as possible and, if required to be held in-person, to consider the following limits:
a. Indoor attendance to 30% of capacity to a maximum 50 people per facility.
b. Seating to the immediate household and essential supports, separated by 2
metres of distance between other groups."
As directed by the Province of Ontario and the Bereavement Authority of Ontario ----
*** The FUNERAL HOME must ensure that the number of persons occupying any room in the building or structure while attending the gathering does not go over the capacity.---
** All persons attending the gathering must remain at least two metres apart from each other and from persons conducting the funeral/visitation unless they are members of the same household.---
**As per our governing body - Wearing of masks, or face coverings, by everyone is mandatory. This includes all staff and attendees. Current research indicates that masks contribute significantly to the reduction of infection.
