“If you have even mild symptoms, stay home and get tested,” said Dr. Jennifer Russell, chief medical officer of health.
“Even with mild symptoms, do not go to work or attend social or family get-togethers. Do not rely on known travel history of yourself and others to dismiss symptoms as being COVID-19 related. Remember, if you have travelled you must self-isolate for a full 14 days.”
Meantime, Public Health has identified potential public exposure to the virus at the following locations in Zone 1:
- Moncton Squash Club on Dec. 29, 30 and 31 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. (71 Essex St., Moncton) and;
- Bo Diddley’s Lounge on Dec. 31 and Jan. 1 between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. (285 Collishaw St., Moncton).
If you were at any of these locations, and you have no symptoms of COVID-19, self-monitor and follow all Public Health guidelines.
If you are experiencing mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19 and do not need to talk to a nurse, complete the self-assessment and get tested.
