Another recent outbreak was declared as a result of a Halloween party at 955 Meadowside Ave. in Greater Sudbury on Oct. 31, 2020. Anyone who attended the gathering was has been directed to self-isolate, contact Public Health at 705-522-9200 or toll-free at 1-866-522-9200, and to seek testing for COVID-19.

Due to a potential high-risk exposure to COVID-19, anyone who attended Foothill Farm Service, a farm equipment garage in Massey, between Nov. 4 and Nov. 6 has also been advised to immediately self-isolate and contact Public Health.

Self-isolation means not leaving home for work or school, not using public transportation, and avoiding contact with others.

PHSD will list locations open to the public where a person who tested positive for COVID-19 has worked, visited or attended during their infectious period when it is determined there was a risk of public exposure, and when the health unit may not be able to contact everyone who may have been exposed.

Locations will be removed from the list 14 days following exposure, the health unit said.
