Northern Health is advising of a potential exposure to COVID-19, at The Key Resource Centre, and the Cold Weather Shelter in Fort St James, between November 12 and 25th.
Public health officials are asking people who visited either the resource centre or shelter during this time period, to take extra care to self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19 until December 10th (14 days from the last date of possible exposure).
Public health contact tracing is underway and, where possible, NH is reaching out directly to individuals who have been exposed.
If people remain healthy and do not develop symptoms, there is no need to self-isolate, and people can continue with their usual daily activities.
If you develop any symptoms of COVID-19, please self-isolate and contact the COVID-19 Online Clinic and Information Line for Northern BC residents: 1-844-645-7811, or contact your doctor or nurse practitioner.
Those who have been identified as a COVID-19 case or close contact, will be contacted by NH Public Health or Nak’azdli Health Centre for further instruction.
