City of Kawartha Lakes council called a special meeting Tuesday morning to update residents on its coronavirus pandemic response as well as how it will move forward during the next month.
The municipality activated its pandemic response team on March 12. “Number one was the health safety of our community. That’s you, the staff and our members of the public and their families.
That’s paramount,” said CAO Ron Taylor. “We don’t know what we don’t know. We don’t know how long this will go.” The city activated its emergency control group and emergency operations centre (EOC) on March 16.
It will be active for the next two weeks, meeting each Monday. “The EOC will meet on a weekly basis as required,” said fire Chief Mark Pankhurst.
