In response to public health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry’s circuit breaker COVID-19 restrictions announced Monday, March 29, the city of Williams Lake said Tuesday it urges everyone to continue to follow best practices.
These include staying home if you feel unwell or have symptoms; limiting social interactions to household and core bubble members only, physical distancing, wearing a mask, diligent sanitizing and hand washing.
At this time, city facilities remain open, with restrictions in place and city hall continues normal operations with face covering, physical distancing, and sanitization procedures ongoing.
“However, the city requests that individuals consider visiting city hall only if absolutely necessary, or if requested by a staff member,” the city noted in a news release, adding there is a drop box at the front of the building for payments and correspondence.
