Those who were at Costco this past Saturday should not be worried about self-isolating, according to the Department of Health.

Social media exploded on Saturday with rumours suggesting that a person with a confirmed case of COVID-19 had been out shopping at Costco.

Health Minister John Haggie says if there was a breach of Dr. Janice Fitzgerald’s orders under the Public Health Emergency , charges will be laid.

The RNC is currently investigating the case.

Public Health says a risk assessment was carried out with regard to the issue, and those involved have been provided with instructions to self-isolate. Others in Costco on Saturday are not being advised to self-isolate
