Travelling to Seasonal Residences

Carries Serious COVID-19 Risks

Short-Term Rentals Not Permitted During Stay-at-Home Order

Peterborough Public Health recognizes that seasonal residents are an important part of our community and contribute significantly to our economy, social activities and cultural mosaic. It is important, however, that everyone remembers that travelling to secondary properties during the Stay-at-Home order carries a risk of spreading COVID-19.

Visits to a secondary residence is only permitted for the purposes of performing emergency services and must be less than 24 hours in duration. Cottage owners who wish to relocate to their secondary residence must plan to self-isolate for the first 14 days in order to comply with the Stay-at-Home Order. Updated guidance for seasonal property owners is available at Peterborough Public Health or available in the Using Your Seasonal Residence During COVID-19 News Release. 

Further information about the Stay-at-Home Order and current COVID-19 public health guidance can be found at Peterborough Public Health.
