As a stay-at-home dad to a toddler, James McAvoy says he and his partner, who is also expecting a baby in May, don’t expect to have a ton of free time in the coming months.
But for the couple’s next pandemic date, he says it will likely be at an Ottawa restaurant that still asks customers for proof of vaccination against COVID-19.
“We’ll know that everyone there has to be vaccinated and there’s that layer of safety for our children.”
The Ontario government recently announced businesses will no longer have to seek proof of vaccination from their customers at the door as of Tuesday, March 1, ending a system that’s been in place since last fall.
Businesses are now left to make “a tough call” on whether to keep the practice alive, said Dr. Robert Cushman, the acting medical officer of health in Renfrew County.
