Another community office is closing its doors.
The public will no longer be able to physically access the District of Coldstream鈥檚 municipal offices as of Wednesday, March 18.
鈥淭his necessary action is being taken to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus,鈥� said Trevor Seibel, chief administrative officer, in a release.
District staff will still be available by phone or email. Any essential services that require meeting with staff will be done by appointment only. A targeted reopening date of April 6 has been set.
鈥淗owever, this is subject to change based on the ever changing environment we are currently operating in,鈥� said Seibel.
Coldstream continues to monitor the public health updates related to COVID-19 which has been classified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Although the Public Health Agency of Canada and the BC Centre for Disease Control still assess the public health risk as low for Canada, this could change rapidly. There is an increased risk of more severe outcomes for Canadians aged 65 and over, with compromised immune systems or with underlying medical conditions. The BC Health Officer has recently banned any gatherings over 50 people.
