詹嘉禮市議員 ： COVID-19每日更新 – 2020年5月22日

 

我很高興出席了2743 Victoria Park Avenue 食品銀行的重開日並向居民派發了免費個人防護裝備(口罩)。

另一個有關協助家庭應付COVID—19疫情的電話會議將在下星期五(2020年5月29日)舉行。另外，我們將在下週末再次派發免費口罩和洗手液。敬請留意我們的活動。

這個週末的天氣將會十分和暖和晴朗。我鼓勵各位外出運動和同時謹記保持社交距離。

過去三天的本地新增病例持續增加，但今天的新增病例數字包括了在過去兩周或更長時間內受感染的人士。這些市民可能是在與他人一起渡過母親節等節日時受感染的。

 

我們在未來的日子里必須保持警惕，以免我們的抗疫努力毀於一旦。

 

Steeles Avenue 將於5月29日週五下午8:00至6月1日週一上午6:00封閉

 

Metrolinx 正在對 Agincourt 和 Milliken GO 火車站進行重要的基建升級工程。工程將包括在 Steeles Avenue East 由 Kennedy Road 至 Midland Avenue 之間的現有行人過路處新建人車分層路軌和行人天橋。工程亦包括在 Steeles Avenue East 鐵路走廊一帶加建地下行車通道。

COVID-19 Updates – May 22, 2020

I had the pleasure of attending the re-opening of the Food Bank at 2743 Victoria Park Ave and giving free donated PPE (face masks) to the residents

   

 

 

There will be another Teleconference next Friday May 29, 2020 7:00 pm on Families coping with COVID-19 also we will be giving free donated facemasks and hand sanitizers again next weekend keep tuned for details.

The weather this weekend looks promising, I encourage people to get outdoors and get some exercise, but please practice physical distancing.

Over the last three days we have seen an increase in our local case numbers – however today’s data can reflect transmission for as long as two weeks ago or more. People may have acquired the virus during events where people typically spend time together like Mother’s Day.

We all need to be careful as we move forward so we don’t find ourselves in a position where we have to go back.

Reminder - Steeles Ave Closure Friday, May 29th (8:00 PM) until Monday, June 1st (6:00 AM)

Metrolinx is making major infrastructure improvements to the Agincourt and Milliken GO stations. This work includes the construction of new grade-separated rail and pedestrian bridges at the existing Steeles  Avenue  East  at-grade rail   crossing   between  Kennedy Road and  Midland  Avenue. It also includes a new  road  underpass  on Steeles Avenue East below  the  railway  corridor.

 

WHAT TO EXPECT

·There will be a full closure of Steeles Avenue East between Redlea Avenue and Old Kennedy Road/Silver Star Boulevard to prepare for the temporary detour road.

·The closure will begin on Friday, May 29th (8:00 PM) until Monday, June 1st (6:00 AM)

·Please watch for road signs directing you to alternate routes.

·On June 1st, traffic will shift to the temporary detour road north of Steeles Avenue East between Redlea Avenue and Silver Star Boulevard. The temporary detour road will be in place until late 2021.

·This work will allow crews to build the new underpass and pedestrian bridge at Steeles Avenue East while maintaining traffic flow.
