— CORRECTION—
Indoor gathering limit is five
In last week’s issue of the Southpoint Sun, an article appeared outlining the current restrictions under the different colour codes in the Ontario Framework for COVID-19. An error was printed in the Red:Control section, of which Windsor-Essex is part of. It mistakenly stated that Red zone
restrictions limited indoor gatherings to 10 people, when in fact, it should have been five people. The Southpoint Sun regrets the error and thanks those readers who brought it to our attention. Please refer to www.ontario.ca for any clarification on the COVID-19 guidelines.
