The North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit is looking at legal action as a last resort while enforcing isolation rules under the recently-issued Class Order.
Last week, the Health Unit issued a class order under Section 22 of the Health Protection and Promotion Act. The order serves as a legal tool to allow the Health Unit to further enforce isolation rules for COVID-19.
The Health Unit says it will work towards helping people understand why they have to isolate before police get involved.
