“We are asking anyone who visited this location at this time to self-monitor their symptoms for the next 14 days, until October 17, and if they develop symptoms, please self-isolate and seek out testing,” stated Dr. Rosana Salvaterra, the health unit’s medical officer of health.
“While the risk is low, this serves as a strong reminder to avoid non-essential travel between regions and to follow all recommended public health measures to prevent the spread of the virus. All residents tested for COVID-19 due to symptoms must remain in self-isolation until their results are available.”
Salvaterra also encouraged residents to download the COVID Alert app as it is designed to alert others to potential exposures in these situations.
