City of Vernon: COVID-19 response update
The City is providing more updates as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) situation continues to evolve.
“The City’s top priority remains the health and safety of our citizens, visitors and employees. This is paramount,” said Mayor Victor Cumming. “Many significant orders and recommendations have come from our federal and provincial government, designed to keep residents in Canada safe and contain the spread of this virus.
“In response, our Administration is implementing actions that: adhere to these orders and help contain the spread of infection; ensure City services are maintained; and continue providing a healthy and safe workplace for our employees.
“But it doesn’t stop there. Dr. Bonnie Henry, B.C.’s Provincial Health Officer, has also identified the need to keep our personal well-being in mind. She says we still need to spend time outdoors, when possible, to get fresh air and participate in safe and healthy activities while maintaining proper social physical distancing. Do not gather in groups, but spend time with your family or those you live with and enjoy this time we have together in smaller numbers.
