Two employees at Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg are in self-isolation after testing positive for COVID-19.
One person in close contact with the employees also contracted the virus.
Public health authorities have begun contact tracing and will implement all follow-up procedures to prevent the spread of the virus.
The NML is the only Level 4 lab in Canada and is the battleground when it comes to the fight against infectious diseases and deadly viruses. It’s where Canadian COVID-19 tests are sent for final confirmation.
“Our employees continue to practice effective public health measures, including social distancing, hand-washing, and respiratory etiquette.”
