The OPP continues to support efforts to limit the transmission of COVID-19, including the government-mandated shutdown and the Stay at Home Order. Actions are based on public health advice from the Government’s health table as well as the Chief Medical Officer of Health.

The OPP will continue to support the efforts of our by-law officers and local public health units.

The incident is still under investigation.
