Two City of Kawartha Lakes Police Service officers are out of self-isolation after testing negative for the novel coronavirus.
The service said on Sunday two officers were removed from duty and went into self-isolation following an arrest of a man for domestic assault in Lindsay.
Police said based on information the suspect provided, there was “reason to suspect” that he had COVID-19.
However, police said the officers have tested negative.
“They returned home to their families last night after receiving negative results to their COVID-19 testing,” Sgt. Dave Murtha said on Wednesday morning.
On Tuesday, the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit reported that 41 of its 52 confirmed cases of COVID-19 were in the City of Kawartha Lakes.
