\u27a2 As if a global pandemic weren\u2019t stressful enough. Police in an Orillia neighborhood are warning residents to keep their distance from a moose that\u2019s been on the loose in the city for at least four days. The OPP first warned of the moose in a tweet they posted Saturday (April 4th.) They reminded residents to \u201ccontinue practicing social distancing\u201d and to \u201cnot gather in groups to observe.\u201d They then shared a video showing a moose wandering through a residential neighborhood.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 I\u2019m not sure if we\u2019re supposed to be washing our cash these days, but some people are definitely doing it. And if there ever was a time that Canadians are grateful that their bills are made out of plastic, this is it. The Bank of Canada first introduced polymer banknotes in 2011, and now, videos and pics of Canadian cash getting a scrubdown in hopes of avoiding the spread of the COVID-19 virus have been popping up on social media feeds. One video posted to Facebook shows a sink full of soapy $20 bills accompanied by the caption \u201cGood thing about being Canadian we can wash our money.\u201d The video has since gone viral. \u201cTime\u201d says that money can carry more germs than a household toilet.<\/p>\n
