Public Service Announcement: Possible COVID-19 Exposure at a Private School

NORTH BAY, ON - The North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit (Health Unit) has identified a risk of exposure of COVID-19 at a private school in the Nipissing District. Due to privacy associated with the small population at the private school, the Health Unit will not be identifying the school. The Health Unit is working with the school to ensure that all individuals who are considered high risk are contacted. Individuals who are not contacted by the Health Unit are considered low risk and are asked to self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19. If symptoms develop, self-isolate immediately and arrange to be tested for COVID-19.
