Today, the City has announced that private events booked at Fieldcote, Griffin House, Ancaster Old Town Hall, Whitehern and the Hamilton Children’s Museum up to September 30 will be cancelled.
Dundurn Castle, Hamilton Military Museum and the Hamilton Museum of Steam & Technology are re-opening as of July 15 to offer modified programming between Wednesday-Sunday. Private events booked at these three sites can still take place, following all health & safety guidelines.
Beginning July 15, residents can book events at Dundurn Castle, the Hamilton Military Museum and the Hamilton Museum of Steam & Technology. Bookings at the other six museums are also available, for dates in January 2021 & beyond, contingent on the COVID-19 situation in Hamilton.
Yesterday, the City of Hamilton reopened nine swimming pools and one wading pool. More than 700 residents visited one of the newly reopened indoor and outdoor swimming pools yesterday for the first day of swimming since March 2020...
...pools are holding open swims 12pm-7pm daily until September. Locations, schedules and guidelines for visiting pools are available at: hamilton.ca/swimming

Residents should be advised that pool capacity is limited to ensure physical distancing, there may be waiting times.
COVID-19 test results are processed by Ontario’s Public Health Laboratory and uploaded onto the online provincial portal. Hamilton Public Health Services does not have control over the length of time it takes for this process. As well, Public Health does not have...
...any additional access to results over what is on the provincial portal.

Hamilton Public Health Services is discouraging residents from going to a different assessment centre to receive repeat testing instead of waiting for their results, as this may cause an even greater...
... increase in testing backlog, duplicate records, and confusion in the system.

The total number of COVID-19 tests conducted daily in Hamilton continues to be around 400 tests across all three testing centres, this is already exceeding capacity, and we are often seeing...
... upwards of 700 tests being performed per day.

If residents have been tested for COVID-19, they should continue to check the provincial portal until test results are updated or contact the clinician who ordered the test or their primary care provider...
...A link to the portal can be found on the City’s website and it’s important to note that it may take up to 10 days to receive test results for COVID-19.

Hamilton Public Health Services will only follow-up with residents if they test positive for COVID-19.

With cases of COVID-19 on the rise in #HamOnt and across Ontario, Hamilton’s Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Elizabeth Richardson, is echoing the announcement made by Premier Doug Ford earlier today and recommending that residents move away from the concept of the “social circle”
and limit close interactions to those within their households.

Trends in COVID-19 cases in Hamilton are showing that the virus is most commonly being transmitted at private social gatherings, in situations where people are not practicing appropriate physical distancing,
and when people are not wearing masks indoors or in other settings where physical distancing is a challenge.
