Statement from Mayor Bigger – Community's second fatality from COVID-19

I was very saddened to hear of our community’s second fatality from COVID-19, a resident of St. Joseph's Villa. On behalf of Council I extend my condolences to her family and friends at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. 

I again implore every resident of Greater Sudbury to take this virus seriously. Physical distancing is a must to protect us, and our loved ones, especially the older members of our community. We must be smart, stay at home and work together to get through this trying time. We are a strong community, let's move forward together in the safest way possible.

Mayor Brian Bigger
