Mayor Andy Letham says it’s critical over the next couple of weeks that the municipality focus all of its staffing and resources to address the coronavirus pandemic.
In a media conference late Wednesday afternoon, Letham said the municipality has allocated “all available” resources towards its frontline community response.
As of Tuesday, the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit reported seven confirmed cases of COVID-19, which included one death. “Our staff are working day and night on this pandemic,” he said.
Letham asked residents to do their part by holding off all inquires on non-emergency issues until normal operations can resume.
