Dear editor:
While out at a major Niagara-on-the-Lake retailer, I was dismayed and saddened to see a fellow NOTLer, deeply tanned, hug a woman and then hear him say he just got back from the United States.
I am not often speechless, as many people know, but that interaction totally dumbfounded me.
Those of us here in NOTL who have not travelled recently have been distancing ourselves, self-isolating and only shopping for what we need only for some time.
We have not seen our grandbabies for weeks now and have just glimpsed our granddaughter from our car. No hugs for us. We miss them dearly and would like not to get sick so we can see them in the future.
Please, all of you folks just arriving from the United States, Mexico, Europe, Costa Rica and elsewhere please self-isolate for 14 days. Order your groceries online, ask the pharmacy to deliver your medications.
Or ask a neighbour or friend to shop for you! Please have a care for those who are most vulnerable here in NOTL.
Margot Richardson
