Wednesday morning, the health unit sent out two notices of exposure, one for a Kingston Transit bus and one for Coco Frutti restaurant.

On March 21, the health unit says a person with COVID-19 travelled on city bus route 502 from the Cataraqui centre at 1:25 p.m to the Kingston Street/Portsmouth Avenue stop at 1:50 p.m. They then took route 4 from the Princess and Victoria streets stops at 2:20 p.m. back to the Cataraqui Centre at 2:50 p.m.

The health unit says it cannot contact everyone who was on these routes and asks anyone who travelled on the buses between those times to get tested for COVID-19 immediately. They ask that those who do not test positive monitor for symptoms and be tested again March 31 even if asymptomatic. Affected riders should self-isolate from 14 days of exposure, so until April 4.
