Share

Island Health issued a warning Thursday about a possible COVID-19 exposure at a popular Vancouver Island brewery.

Patrons who attended the Tofino Brewing Company on October 27 between 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. are being advised of a possible exposure.

Officials say the exposure risk is low but people who visited during this time are asked to self-monitor for symptoms out of an abundance of caution.

Contact tracing has already been completed and anyone identified as a close contact has been instructed to self-isolate.

Island Health says they have also contacted all high-risk exposure individuals, so members of the public who were not already contacted can rest assured they are at low risk of exposure.

No ongoing COVID-19 risk from this exposure has been identified.

Anyone who develops symptoms of COVID-19 is asked to seek testing and to self-isolate.

More information is available online at www.islandhealth.ca/covid19.
