Vancouver Coastal Health is warning people in Whistler that they may have been exposed to the novel coronavirus last week. The Resort Municipality of Whistler confirmed Thursday that one or more members of a group of people that travelled to the community between March 8 and March 13 have tested positive for COVID-19.
Health officials issued a bulletin warning that people at three locations may have been exposed: The health authority reiterated that the risk of contracting the disease is low, but asked people who were potentially exposed to monitor for symptoms until March 27, and to practice social distancing by avoiding any public place where they can’t keep two metres apart from others.
