KFL&A Public Health is asking those who visited a Rogers store in a Kingston mall before the holidays to get tested after a case of COVID-19 was confirmed at the store.

According to the health unit, an employee working at the Cataraqui Centre store between Dec. 17 and Dec. 22 has since tested positive for the virus. Two other people have since tested positive. The health unit has this listed as an outbreak under their COVID-19 dashboard, with a total of three people affected. Only one case has since resolved.

Contact tracers are having a hard time contacting all those who entered the store between those dates, so now, the health unit is asking anyone who frequented the establishment to get tested.
