“We hope that everybody is off enjoying their weekend, spending time with their close family, with their households and taking the time to unwind and to be kind to each other. I sincerely hope that most people have avoided any unnecessary travel. All across the province, we know that these physical distancing measures are in place and we know they’re so important to be able to continue the trend that we are having in managing this pandemic.”
