Link here to the report on the first case of Covid-19 in Sudbury, with this paragraph of particular interest to the wider IKN audience:
During the investigation, Public Health Sudbury & Districts
discovered the man had attended the Prospectors, Developers Association
of Canada (P-DAC) conference on March 2 and 3 in Toronto.
“Having
a confirmed case in our area is not unexpected given the transmission
of this virus around the world,” medical officer of health Dr Penny
Sutcliffe said.
“Although this is concerning, as a community and
as a health system, we have been preparing for COVID-19. Our focus is
on breaking the chain of transmission to limit the spread of infection
and as a precautionary measure, we are asking those who attended PDAC
2020 to monitor for symptoms for 14 days.”
The health unit says at this time the virus is not circulating locally.
