The Health Unit is working closely with Garderie Soleil to provide guidance to parents, guardians and staff, and to ensure that everyone continues to follow public health measures and child care centre policies.
If you think you may have COVID-19 symptoms or have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive, first self-isolate and then use Ontario's Self-Assessment Tool to see if you need to seek further care.
