Londoners with questions about the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will be able to get some answers from local public health officials this week.
The Middlesex London Health Unit has announced it will be holding a virtual town hall at 7 p.m. on Monday. The one-hour online meeting will include a brief presentation by Medical Officer of Health Dr. Chris Mackie and a question and answer period.
“We’ve hosted pandemic-related virtual media briefings, as well as webinars for local healthcare providers and community stakeholders, for some time. With emerging issues like the return to classes in a few weeks and the coming flu season, we wanted to talk to the community and give them an opportunity to ask questions,” Dr. Mackie said in a statement. “We want to provide this opportunity so people can ask the questions that have been on their minds as we continue to live with the reality of a global coronavirus pandemic.”
Those with questions will be able to submit them during the town hall over the Microsoft Teams platform. Questions can also be emailed to [email protected] ahead of time. Anyone emailing their question should include "Question for Town Hall" in the subject line.
The health unit has also set-up a COVD-19 hotline to address community concerns and questions. To reached the hotline dial 519-663-5317 and press one.
A link to the virtual meeting will be posted on the health unit’s COVID-19 webpage at www.healthunit.com/novel-coronavirus.
