Peel Public Health (PPH) is asking guests at an overnight birthday event in Brampton last month to get tested for COVID-19.
PPH said there has been an outbreak of COVID-19 stemming from an event at the Chandni Convention Centre on Oct. 23 and 24.
Officials are advising anyone who attended the event to seek immediate testing for COVID-19.
“All guests should get tested, regardless of vaccination status,” PPH said in a release.
PPH said individuals who are not fully vaccinated and refuse testing must self-isolate for 20 days.
Fully vaccinated individuals who are not showing symptoms of COVID-19 do not need to isolate while waiting for their test results.
