Betty Disero is calling a State of Emergency for Niagara-on-the-Lake.

The Lord Mayor made the announcement last night.

The move gives the mayor the authority to make decision and take quick action without a council vote.

Disero says hundreds are returning to Niagara-on-the-Lake from vacation and the actions over the next few days are critical.

Everyone returning to Canada must go into a 14-day self-isolation.

This means no stops on the way home for the airport, or running out for supplies, like groceries.
