Ontario’s top doctor is urging people not to flock to their cottages during the COVID-19 pandemic.

During a news conference at Queen’s Park on Tuesday, Dr. David Williams, Ontario’s chief medical officer of health, said cottagers are putting themselves at risk and also putting unnecessary pressure on the residents who live in that community year-round.

“If you stay up there, those smaller communities are seasonal. They have food supplies at their grocery stores… set up for seasonal activity. They do not have a lot of people … to look after. Therefore, when you go up there, you compromise the supply for the local residents.” He added that medical facilities in smaller seasonal communities are not set up to handle an increased load of patients.

BRAVO9ACTUAL Tell that to Trudeau and his wife

Shout out to the cottager who donated $135k to the local hospital

Cottagers will no longer support locals and local businesses. We must be careful

What the chief is saying is: City slickers going to their cottages are going to kill the old people, who retired in cottage country and Ontario smaller towns. So consider them, instead of being a selfish coward running from the city, where you're better off.

What is wrong with going up to the cottage? How are you breaking any type of 'social distancing' by doing this? If you have another home you can live there if you wish to do so. Also, if it's that important make it mandatory don't just suggest it.
