The City of Saint John is moving to keep only essential services active in the community for the foreseeable future in an effort to combat the potential spread of COVID-19.
Mayor Don Darling held a news conference Tuesday, along with Fire Chief and Saint John Emergency Management Organization (SJEMO) Director Kevin Clifford and City Manager John Collin, to outline the measures. “This is unprecedented territory for us as a city,” Darling said. “But we know that we have the support, people, plans and resources in place to be successful. “Be assured that the senior leadership team for the city is organized into teams and is monitoring the rapidly-changing situation on an ongoing basis,” he added.
