In looking at the Ottawa Public Health website, this is the current advice:
"For ALL Ottawa residents who are not currently self-isolating:
Practice physical distancing
Stay home as much as possible. Only leave your property for essential travel such as grocery shopping or visiting a pharmacy
Stay at least 2 metres (6 feet) away from people outside of your household.
If you are going to a place where physical distancing measures are difficult to maintain (such as the grocery store, pharmacy, or public transit), consider wearing a non-medical mask (i.e. cloth mask), as
they may offer some additional protection to those around you.
Wash your hands with soap and water thoroughly and often
Do not touch your face with unwashed hands
Clean phones, other devices and frequently touched surfaces regularly."
A tip that says "please go out of your house regularly to any park/beach" seems to directly contradict advice from Ottawa Public Health.
And looking at the federal government web site, it includes tips like "avoid all non-essential trips in your community" and "go outside to exercise but stay close to home". That also seems very different than " please go out of your house regularly to any park/beach."
Maybe that's true for Ontario, seeing as they are still showing lots of cases, but here in NS, we're being told to get outside and enjoy the weather but do it safely and smart. The whole "stay at home" philosophy was the word back in March and April in the height of the pandemic, but a lot has changed since those months.
I'll tell ya what. I'll just delete that post with those recommendations I shared and save us all a lot of grief. Do whatever you want to do if that makes you feel safer. My apologies for trying to share something I considered sound advice.
