Gary Vidal, Member of Parliament for Desnethé-Missinippi-Churchill River, is distancing himself from the public as a precaution amid COVID-19 concerns.
“This morning, Parliament suspended due to concerns over COVID-19. Going forward, I will be cutting down on public events and doing as much business over the phone as possible. I want to ensure I will not be a potential carrier of the virus or put my constituents at risk via my travels across the riding,” Vidal said in a statement.
“My staff in Ottawa and in the constituency office in Meadow Lake will still be available to assist constituents. To promote everyone’s health and safety, all constituency work will be done over the phone, or by email. I urge everyone to follow the precautions recommended by Health Canada to stay healthy and safe.”
Vidal was slated to hold a presentation at Turning Point Youth Center on Friday evening which has been postponed by the center as a precaution.
