The person is self isolating, stated Rick Webb, Sault College human resources and communications director, in an email to SooToday received Friday.
“The member was on campus for a limited time and was masked and socially distanced during that time, as were the people they came into contact with. APH has advised us that this is a low risk incident and all people who were in contact with the member were contacted by APH and are following public health guidance. APH has asked them to monitor themselves and to self-isolate if they develop any symptoms.”
