Maybe it’s easy to forget what constitutes as an emergency these days.

Despite one Halton Region resident’s belief, a sneeze from a stranger doesn’t warrant a 911 call. Perhap the caller was worried about getting COVID-19.

“We understand it can cause distress to see someone sneeze right now, but that is not an appropriate reason to call 911,” Halton police tweeted Friday with the hashtag #SaveItForEmergencies.
