The health unit was notified on Monday (October 5) that a person from outside the Peterborough area who was positive for COVID-19 visited Kawartha Country Wines during these hours and is issuing a public notice to ensure other patrons are aware.
“We are asking anyone who visited this location at this time to self-monitor their symptoms for the next 14 days, until October 17, and if they develop symptoms, please self-isolate and seek out testing,” says Dr. Rosana Salvaterra, Peterborough’s medical officer of health.
“While the risk is low, this serves as a strong reminder to avoid non-essential travel between regions and to follow all recommended public health measures to prevent the spread of the virus. All residents tested for COVID-19 due to symptoms must remain in self-isolation until their results are available.”
