The North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit has declared a respiratory outbreak caused by COVID at the Faith Chapel Christian Centre in North Bay.
"There are five individuals associated with the outbreak who have tested positive for COVID-19," says a news release. "These individuals are complying with self-isolation requirements and individuals identified as high-risk close contacts are being contacted."
Individuals who attended the chapel in-person on or between June 13th and 20th are advised to call the Health Unit, if they have not already been contacted, self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19, and should symptoms develop, immediately self-isolate and contact the local assessment centre for testing.
“Our local COVID-19 situation is changing rapidly. Now is not the time to stop following public health guidance,” explains Dr. Jim Chirico, Medical Officer of Health. “We will work diligently with the Faith Chapel community to help prevent further spread of COVID-19 within our community.”
