The public is remi​​nded during the COVID-19 outbreak, to continue to take precautions to protect yourself, your families and everyone who lives in the community. COVID-19 is present in the province and we all have a responsibility to minimize the spread of the disease.

Physical dis​tancing is something everyone needs to be doing all the time, every time, to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
