Public Health Measures聽

Community transmission can happen quickly and impact multiple settings. 聽

• A recent outbreak on a teenage hockey team resulted in nine players and one coach testing positive.听 Multiple teams are currently self-isolating as a result.听
• A recent outbreak at a curling bonspiel resulted in positive cases on teams from several cities and towns across the province.听
• Positive cases among attendees at a recent funeral has led to the potential exposure of more than 200 people.听
• Recently, 17 nurses working in one hospital were required to self-isolate after being identified as close contacts to positive cases linked to sporting events and community transmission.

The extensive amount of investigation and contact tracing as a result of these events causes delayed notification of possible exposure resulting in further transmission.听

With significant outbreaks continuing to occur among larger gatherings and sporting events, the public is urged to follow the public health orders in place and are reminded these orders are enforceable.听 聽
