Peterborough’s health unit is advising patrons of the Canoe and Paddle at 18 Bridge Street in Lakefield of a potential exposure to COVID-19 from Monday, August 30th to Friday, September 3rd.
Peterborough Public Health considers anyone who dined at the restaurant during this period to be a high-risk contact.
For unvaccinated or partially vaccinated people, the health unit recommends you get tested immediately and self-isolate for 10 days from the last date you attended the restaurant.
For fully vaccinated people (at least two weeks have passed since the second dose) who do not have any symptoms of COVID-19, the health unit recommends you get tested immediately and self-monitor for symptoms for 10 days from the last date you attended the restaurant.
For fully vaccinated people with symptoms of COVID-19, the health unit recommends you self-isolate and get tested immediately. If the test is positive, you must continue to self-isolate for 10 days (Peterborough Public Health will contact you). If the test is negative, you can discontinue self-isolation if your symptoms have been improving for at least 24 hours (48 hours for gastrointestinal symptoms).
COVID-19 symptoms can include: fever or chills; cough or shortness of breath; muscle aches, joint pain, and tiredness; difficulty breathing (shortness of breath); sore throat or difficulty swallowing; headache; runny nose or stuffy (congested) nose; new loss of taste or smell; and gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and diarrhea).
