Dan Gagnon, Elliot Lakeâs chief administrative officer, provided council with an update regarding COVID-19 during their April 12 meeting. The province remains under a Stay-At-Home order, however, âwhen it comes to the municipalityâs levels of service, they have remained very much status quo.â âWe resisted the temptation to close outdoor facilitiesâ such as parks, Gagnon said, because the provincial order âactually speaks to permittingâ these spaces to remain open. Currently, people can congregate in groups up to five, although masks and social distancing are strongly encouraged. âWeâre monitoring the flow, the traffic and the gatheringsâ at these places, Gagnon noted, to ensure public compliance with provincial health recommendations.
