Santa has been declared an essential worker by Inland Health, just in time for his annually scheduled delivery run in the region.
Claus has been isolating for 14 days and must wear a face mask while delivering gifts. The same protocols are monitoring Rudolph and the other reindeer as well as the elves for any COVID-19 symptoms.
Santa is confident that the conditions of his Christmas Eve isolation exemption will keep everyone safe. He understands that children have been extraordinarily well-behaved during the pandemic and that they will be rewarded accordingly.
The North Pole has not reported any confirmed COVID-19 case.
Juice FM is working with NORAD in North Bay, Ontario to track Santa Christmas Eve starting at 6PM.
