City of Nanaimo releases COVID-19 Recovery Plan
NEWS RELEASE - Distributed July 14, 2020 10:00 AM
Summary
At their July 13, 2020 meeting, Nanaimo City Council approved the COVID-19 Recovery Plan. The plan, which aligns with the Province of BC’s Restart Plan, will provide a path forward for resumption of City operations in a safe and economically viable way.
The plan outlines four progressive steps that the City will take toward a gradual, safe and measured reopening of municipal facilities and resumption of City services and programs that have been suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic. It will be updated as needed and will likely change as the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, as the Province updates BC’s Restart Plan and as the Provincial Health Officer makes announcements for reopening other sectors of the economy or relaxing restrictions currently in place.
The COVID-19 Recovery Plan is attached to the online version of this news release and can be found at www.nanaimo.ca/COVID19.
