According to a statement issued by the public health unit, attendees of a religious ceremony at Nanaksar Thath Isher Darbar at 9954 The Gore Rd. in Brampton should get immediate PCR testing.

Through another statement, residents who attended a funeral at New Life Covenant Centre at 7050 Bramalea Rd., in Mississauga have been asked to get tested for COVID-19.
Peel Public Health added that attendees who initially tested with a Rapid Antigen Test should be re-tested with a PCR kit.
These residents are asked to provide outbreak number: 2253-2021-50639.
Both statements by the public health unit said “Individuals who refuse testing must self-isolate for 20 days.”
