Additional resources sent to Meadow Lake RCMP, officers in isolation after COVID-19 exposure
Four members of the RCMP are in isolation as they have been deemed close contacts to people who have tested positive for COVID-19.
The detachment’s Sgt. Ryan How stated while the officers are in isolation, none of them have positive test results for the virus. However, this has not affected service as the RCMP deployed additional services to assist with detachment operations.
Between January 4 to 11, the Meadow Lake RCMP responded to 154 calls for service, a slight increase from the 136 calls received during the same timeframe last year.
While that number may seem high, it is actually below average as officers responded to over 200 calls the week prior.
