Southwestern Public Health is warning this afternoon of a possible large-scale exposure to COVID-19 in Aylmer. Anywhere from 50 to 70 people could be affected following a prayer service and funeral last week at Old Colony Church on Dingle Street. Dr. Joyce Lock, medical officer of health for the health unit, advises there may be additional exposures among family members prior to this event.
Health care providers are asked to be on high alert for COVID-19 symptoms among members of Old Colony Church.
They are asked to test individuals without requesting proof they are at-risk and without redirecting them elsewhere.
More details to follow.
