The RCMP asks those exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms – fever, coughing or trouble breathing – to refrain from coming in to police service buildings. Instead, they are urged to call non-emergency assistance; the Agassiz phone number is 604-796-2211.
The RCMP indicated there would be no effect on emergency services, 9-1-1 calls or calls to non-emergency lines.
