The Cobourg Community Centre has been temporarily closed for the weekend due to COVID-19, the Town of Cobourg announced on Saturday (December 12).
The town states it decided to immediately close the facility, located at 750 D’Arcy Street, after users of the centre last week reported a close contact with a person who recently tested positive.
As a precaution, the centre will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized in its entirety including all arenas, workspaces, washrooms, change rooms, and high-touch surfaces.
“For the safety of our staff, facility users and entire community we have chosen to close the community centre for the weekend to undergo a deep clean as recommended by public health authorities,” says Tracey Vaughan, Cobourg’s chief administrative officer. “We are committed to the safety and well-being of our community and are taking every measure to reduce the risk of spread of COVID-19.”
The facility’s staff and anyone who visited the facility last week are being asked to self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms. For more information about COVID-19, including a self-assessment, visit covid-19.ontario.ca.
Following cleaning and sanitization over the weekend, the Cobourg Community Centre will reopen at 8 a.m. on Monday (December 14).
