The Prince George Golf and Curling Club is warning of a potential exposure to COVID-19 at the Overhang Climbing Gym after a customer recently tested positive for the virus.
The possible exposure dates at the Climbing Gym were October 28th, 5 pm-7:45 pm, and November 2nd, 7:45 pm-8:45 pm.
“The Overhang climbing gym operates independently of the PGGCC and there will be no changes to our scheduled operations at this point. We will continue to monitor the situation carefully and update facility users of any changes,” said General Manager Don McDermid.
“Mask use continues to be recommended when using our facility and please adhere to posted social distancing and sanitization expectations.”
Contact tracing has been initiated, and the business is working with provincial health authorities.
“At this time owner Lauren Phillips and Manager Alana Bull are personally contacting all clients who may have been potentially affected, based on our contact tracing reports (people that were in the facility at the same time or shortly thereafter,)” said the company on their website.
Those that were in close contact are being asked to self-isolate and get tested; anyone present in the facility at the time but not in close contact is asked to self-monitor.
The identity of the person who tested positive will not be released.
Meanwhile, the facility will be closed voluntarily for the rest of the weekend for cleaning, and will reopen tomorrow (Monday) at 3 pm.
