Red Deer’s mayor says she knows people are frustrated over COVID-19 and the latest round of public health measures aimed at beating it.
But Tara Veer is encouraging Red Deerians to be united and strong to limit community spread of the virus.
“it is affecting us all in one form or another, and although we are all incredibly pandemic weary, we need to continue to be diligent in terms of doing all that we can in ensuring that we limit the spread of this virus,” Veer said during a Facebook live update Wednesday morning.
