NEWS RELEASE
TIMMINS POLICE SERVICE
*************************
The Timmins Police Service is issuing a COVID-19 compliance reminder to all local residents.
Provincial restrictions are clear, concise and focused on mitigating the spread of the virus.
With that in mind, the Timmins Police Service reminds all citizens that indoor organized public events and social gatherings are prohibited, except with members of the same household which are identifiable as the people you currently live with.
Exemptions apply to any individuals who live alone or any single parents who are allowed to consider having exclusive, close contact with another household to help reduce the negative impacts of social isolation.
Outdoor organized public events and social gatherings must firstly comply with public health advice on physical distancing and are limited to no more than 10 attendees outdoors.
Weddings, funerals and other religious services, rites, or ceremonies where physical distancing can be maintained are limited to 10 persons while indoors and no more than 10 persons while outdoors as well.
Any social gathering found to be in violation of these restrictions will merit a police response based on enforcement meant to enhance public safety and to avoid any further proliferation of the virus.
