If you were at the premises during those days, Public Health is advising you to:

  • Monitor for symptoms carefully, even mild ones.
  • Testing is recommended if you had any symptom of COVID-19 since November 13. If you have/had symptoms:

Continue with public health precautions to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

  • Stay home if you are sick
  • Practice physical distancing – stay 2 meters (6 feet) away from people in public areas
  • Wear a face covering: Minimum of 2 layers of material; 3 will provide further protection when you cannot stay 6 feet away from people out in public – and in indoor public spaces as required
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water, or use hand sanitizer after being in touch with others or handling anything from outside your home
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
