Unless there’s something urgent, RMCP are asking Manitobans to avoid their detachments amid fear of the novel coronavirus.
In a release Tuesday, the police force asked Manitobans to phone in non-urgent matters while the province hunkers down in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19.
“It is important to us that we remain accessible to Manitobans for when you need us most,” reads a statement from Manitoba RCMP.
“For precautionary reasons due to COVID-19, effectively immediately, we are asking that the public only visit a detachment if it’s urgent.”
