The Grey Bruce Health Unit is working with Sepoy Manor Retirement Home in Lucknow to address a case of COVID-19 associated with staff.
As per ministry guidelines, a single case of COVID-19 triggers an automatic outbreak within the facility.
The individual who tested positive has been contacted directly by the COVID-19 Case and Contact Management Team. They are working with the case and the Retirement Home to identify others, both in and out of the work environment, who may have been exposed and to determine their risk level.
A Public Health case manager will contact anyone identified as a contact to the confirmed case, both in and outside of the Retirement Home environment. Those at risk of infection will be contacted within 24 hours of the investigation.
All contact tracing and determination of individual and community risk is made by Public Health.
