There is only one thing that matters to Burlington and every other community in the province. Stay at home.

“This webpage is fantastic” said the Mayor, “ as it acts as a one-stop shop for resources. We hope by having a single portal, this will be of tremendous value to our residents and non-profit organizations. I want to thank City staff for putting this together, and our members of the Burlington COVID-19 Task Force – this was their idea and their first take-away item that’s now being delivered. This is collaboration in action and the true spirit of the Task Force, our City and our community.”

The flattening of the curve below is all that matters.  All it takes to flatten it is for people to adhere to that six foot rule and stay at home as much as they can and wash your hands frequently.  The virus that is spreading amongst us is something that is being transmitted person to person.
