Flyer spreading COVID misinformation spotted on the North Island

If you see a flyer that says COVID-19 restrictions are over, don’t believe it.

The flyers were first reported on the windshields of parked cars in Powell River on Thursday (Feb. 25th).

The flyer has since been taken down, but there may be more out there.
