The best play to prevent a third wave is for people void crowded areas, continue with the wearing of masks, sanitize constantly, stay within their bubble, leave their homes when it’s an absolute.  The provincial health department also asked that people keep their holiday gatherings small and outdoors, and encourage “at risk” people to stay home.
