The Peterborough Public Health Unit has declared a COVID-19 outbreak at Severn Court Student Residence.
The Health Unit says six cases have been confirmed so far, noting that they’ve detected a COVID-19 variant among the cases.
A Section 22 Order has closed the building to visitors and requiring all residents to self-isolate.
The Health Unit is asking anyone who visited Severn Court between February 20th and 27th to self-isolate and to get tested if they have COVID-19 symptoms.
According to the Health Unit, several of the exposures occurred during a private gathering on February 20th, something Medical Officer of Health Dr. Rosana Salvaterra says was completely preventable.
