The health authority has been contacting anyone who is known to be a close contact of a person who has tested positive for coronavirus, but they say there may be some contacts that they are not aware of.
As a result, the NSHA is issuing a warning, saying that anyone who may have been exposed to COVID-19 at the location could develop symptoms up to and including May 28.
They’re recommending that anyone who was at the Dollarama on those dates self-monitor for signs and symptoms of the disease.
They include:
- Fever
- Cough
- Sore Throat
- Runny Nose
- Headache
If anyone has two or more COVID-19 symptoms the NSHA is recommending that individuals self-isolate and call 811 for assessment.
They should remain self-isolated until receiving advice from 811 on their next steps.
People should not go directly to a COVID-19 assessment centre unless they are directed to do so by 811.
