An individual who later tested positive for COVID-19 was on the Fort Garry Campus on April 20 & 21st during the communicable period. The individual attended the Plant Science Building, Rooms 009, 018, 207, and 210 (autoclave room), and also the growth room #2 in the growth space area of the Agriculture building.
Public Health is leading the case investigation and contact management, and will identify and directly notify any close contacts. If you were not contacted by Public Health and were in the above areas on the above date, you can continue to self-monitor for symptoms. Should you develop symptoms use the Shared Health screening tool to determine if you should be tested.
The space where the individuals were present on campus are being appropriately cleaned and disinfected. Masks are mandatory at all times at the University of Manitoba.
It is more important than ever that individuals who attend work or learning events in person strictly follow public health guidance including limiting close contacts outside of the home, practicing physical distancing, and staying home when sick, no matter how mild the symptoms. If you have symptoms that could be COVID-19, use the Shared Health screening tool to self-screen and get tested if that is what is recommended. Without the test there is no way to tell if the symptoms are from COVID-19 or another cause.
