The alert was issued because someone has tested positive for COVID - 19 and public health believes people at these businesses during these times may have had contact where potentially the virus may have been passed on.

How to avoid getting sick:

  • Keep at least 2 meters away from others when in public and wear a mask when that's not possible.

  • Limit gatherings to the numbers specified in public health orders.
