COVID-19: Suspected cases of Omicron linked to MacKinnon Brothers holiday market

KFL&A Public Health is asking anyone who attended a holiday market in Bath, Ont., last weekend to isolate and get tested for COVID-19.

The health unit said there were multiple cases of COVID-19 at the MacKinnon Brothers Holiday Market, suspected to be the Omicron variant.

Anyone who was at the market over Dec. 4 or Dec. 5 should isolate and get tested immediately.

Still, with tests in limited supply to fully booked in the KFL&A region, it may be difficult to accommodate the hundreds of people who attended the event last weekend.
