The Dauphin Fire Department confirmed on Monday that one member of the force has tested positive for COVID-19. 

The individual was at the Fire Station during the week of April 19 in a limited capacity. As a result, Cam Abrey says all necessary precautions and Shared Health directives are being followed.

"The Fire Hall, equipment, and vehicles have been disinfected, in accordance with the routine cleaning done after each use, to ensure the safe operation for the Firefighters," said Abrey. 

Abrey also confirmed that the force will continue to serve and protect the community.

"This doesn't interrupt anything for us as far as fire protection and emergency response," stated Abrey. "We have a compliment of officers to respond to any call we receive."

Manitoba is expected to announce more COVID-19 restrictions on Monday afternoon.
