Brandonites have been caught not following social distancing rules in public parks and municipal outdoor recreation facilities since they reopened.
City director of risk and emergency management Brian Kayes said during the city’s regular COVID-19 update that park ambassadors have seen 41 instances of people not physically distancing during 817 visits to Brandon parks since May 5.
“This has been about a half a per cent of visits where people needed some education,” Kayes said. “Two locations that have recently experienced such issues are people on the Sportsplex track and at Westridge Community Centre.”
However, Kayes said no one had broken the outdoor 50-person gathering limit.
Mayor Rick Chrest said during the broadcast that the city is scaling back its update videos to once a week until further notice. The next broadcast will be on Monday, June 8.
“Naturally, if anything changes like we do feel that the public needs more frequent information, we’ll be able to ramp these back up in no time at all,” Chrest said.
