A hold and secure at the Fort Erie urgent care centre this morning has been lifted by police.

Niagara Health posted to social media it was asking patients and visitors to avoid the site, while police dealt with a potential threat.

This was done out of an abundance of caution, and at this point, police have not said much more about that threat.

Patients were still being cared for this morning, as of now regular operations have resumed.
