It’s up to each and everyone of us

Getting through the COVID-19 pandemic depends on each and everyone of us to do our part. We all need to be respectful of the public health order and work with government, not against them.

With increasing media reports of people travelling not only between provinces, but also travelling abroad raising more and more concerns. There have also been increasing media reports of people and business owners in Manitoba, who are purposely defying the public health order.

CBC reported on Jan. 19 that a member of Ontario’s COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Task Force has resigned after she travelled outside of Canada in December, according to the Ontario premier’s office.

When I first read this fact, I was at a loss for words. Personally, I am just floored that a person, who is supposed to be working to the betterment of society, decided to act in this manor and travel outside of Canada.

What is happening to our society?

Maybe there is a correlation as to why we are almost one year into the pandemic and numbers related to infections and deaths are higher now than they were back in March and April.

All of us need to do our part to be part of the solutions and not part of the problem.
