WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Police Service said the incident that caused a lockdown at a Winnipeg fire station didn’t involve COVID-19.
Last week, CTV News Winnipeg reported a group of firefighters were in isolation and Station 21 was closed to the public due to the possibility that some members were exposed to COVID-19.
Cops said this was in response to a March 12 call for police and fire-paramedic crews for a medical incident in the Peguis neighbourhood of east Winnipeg. The incident involved a woman and a dead male.
Police said an investigation has determined that COVID-19 did not play a part.
