On Friday, the province announced Toronto and Peel are going into lockdown Monday due to increasing levels of COVID-19 transmission. Moments after Premier Doug Ford announced the lockdown measures, Hastings Prince Edward Public Health (HPEPH) put out a statement urging residents to end non-essential travel. That includes travellers from areas like Toronto who might want to visit popular destinations in Prince Edward County, including Picton, Ont. If the rate rises to 10 per 100,000 people, Hastings and Prince Edward Counties could enter the yellow zone. Dr. Piotr Oglaza, the medical officer of health for Hastings and Prince Edward Counties, asked residents not to visit with outsiders.
