The Saskatchewan Health Authority is issuing an advisory after confirmation of a positive COVID-19 individual who was likely infectious while attending a business in Kenosee Lake.
Anyone who was at the Bar Bar at Kenosee from 9:30 p.m. on July 17 to 12:30 a.m. on July 18 should be self-monitoring for symptoms for 14 days after their visit, or seek a testing referral by contacting HealthLine 811.
In cases where anyone tests positive for COVID-19, a contact investigation immediately follows where public health reaches out to anyone who may be linked to a positive case and provide them with information on testing and self-isolation.
If health officials are uncertain that they have identified all known close contacts, they may take further action to notify the community about possible locations where positive individuals may have attended while symptomatic.
This marks the first time the Saskatchewan Health Authority has made an announcement regarding a positive COVID-19 case in southeast Saskatchewan.
The Mercury will have more details as they become available.
