While HPEPH does not typically disclose the location of COVID-19 cases in order to protect individuals’ privacy, this information is disclosed when needed to meet public health objectives such as prompt notification of potential contacts and reducing the risk of further transmission. HPEPH is in the process of contacting identified high-risk contacts related to these cases. All high-risk contacts will be instructed by HPEPH to self-isolate immediately and to get tested.
There continues to be preventable spread of COVID-19 in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties. The pandemic isn’t over and everyone must continue to do their part to protect themselves and those around them. Individuals who are not vaccinated are urged to seek vaccination right away. Individuals who have any symptoms of the virus must isolate until they receive negative test results, or for 10 days from the time they develop symptoms.
All HPEPH COVID-19 vaccine clinics are accepting walk-in appointments. Many pharmacies also continue to offer COVID-19 vaccines. For dates, locations, and vaccination options, visit hpePublicHealth.ca/vaccine-booking/.
