As a preventative measure against the novel coronavirus, many West Island municipalities have made the decision to close children’s playgrounds.
Yellow caution tape reading “danger” is wrapped around Pointe-Claire play structures, preventing children from using the equipment.
Playgrounds are also closed in Baie-D’Urfé, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Kirkland and Notre-Dame-de-l’Île-Perrot. Meanwhile, in Beaconsfield and Dorval, officials are advising families against visiting playgrounds.
COVID-19 information signs are posted on poles at all Beaconsfield parks. Asking users to not enter the premises if they are experiencing symptoms such as coughing, fever, difficulty breathing or if they have returned from a trip abroad.
