Bailey adds they are encouraging residents to stay home and help flatten the curve. 

“Our message has been consistent.  Stay home and stay safe. This will save lives in our community. If you must go out, you must practice physical distancing of at least 2 metres from others. We are acting on the best advice from our local, provincial and federal health authorities.  Please, do your part.”

Green spaces in parks and trails remain open. However, people must maintain the safe physical distance of at least two metres apart.
