An employee with the City of Mount Pearl is isolating after testing positive for COVID-19.
A city spokesperson says any immediate coworkers have been notified and contact tracing is underway. However, the employee has no contact with members of the public who visit City Hall.
“The City of Mount Pearl is working to manage the risk for our community to the extent that we can. The City has supported the direction from both Federal and Provincial government, health authorities and agencies, and taken measures necessary to protect our employees, residents, and businesses. All employees are expected to follow the directives of the Chief Medical Officer of Health.”
The facility will remain closed on Wednesday as additional sanitization is undertaken.
The City says updates will be provided if any other employee tests positive—however, no identifying information will be released out of respect for employee privacy.
