A spokesperson for Bruce Power says the safety of the plants, the employees and communities is the number one priority through the COVID-19 situation.
John Peevers says a number of proactive measures.
"We have put together a response and planning team earlier this week that's looking at plans to guide our company and our employees," said Peevers. "A lot of that is looking ahead at staffing scenarios to make sure we can do everything we can to ensure we can deliver power to the province."
Peevers adds above and beyond extra cleaning and added sanitizing stations, there is increased communications with workers to provide guidance for travel, social distancing, self-isolation and encouraging electronic meetings where possible.
"The health units and government officials are the right place for people to go with questions and following their guidelines," said Peevers.
